Celebrating this Season of Holy Days
This Sunday, December 22, at 10:30 am,
“It’s the Living Nativity!, our no-rehearsal Christmas pageant!,”
Worship this Sunday led by Rev. Frank Clarkson and Clare Fortune-Lad, with music by Sarah Del Dotto and William Morley, plus a cast of thousands! We gather for worship on this Sunday before Christmas, and the second half of the service is our heartwarming pageant telling the Nativity story, with a part for everyone who wants one. This year we have many new costumes in youth and adult sizes, so feel free to come early and pick a role before worship, if you'd like. Please come to church friends, in person or on Zoom!
Christmas Eve
Tuesday December 24, at 5:30 pm
Candlelight Service of Lessons and Carols
led by Rev. Frank Clarkson, Clare Fortune-Lad, Melody Jenkins Fried, with readings by our youth and special music by Neal Ferreira, Delia Black, Aiden Wertz, and Emma Clarkson. On this special night we gather to hear the old story of Jesus’ birth, to sing the lovely carols, and make room in our hearts for Love/God/Spirit incarnate/embodied/in our midst. Please join us on this holy night—in person if you can, or on Zoom!
