Worship With Us
"What Child IS This?" — Beyond the Lullaby
In 1865, William Chatterton Dix penned a poem that would become the beloved Christmas-time favorite, “What Child Is This?” During Advent, we will dive into this question that is much more complicated than the lilting lullaby tune, “Greensleeves,” conveys. We will see the story of the time leading up to the birth of Christ in its historical trauma-informed fullness. The story of humanity and its recurring themes of oppression and corruption run right through history and into our own narratives. Yet, we can rely on the assurance of the carol to confirm that God is “present with us” in powerful ways that continue to be the Word of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love even and especially in the midst of hard times.
Christmas Eve Services
3 pm Carols and Communion
This service will have bilingual elements, and our nursery will be open for the 3 pm service only. We always welcome children (with all their wiggles and giggles) in our worship services!
4:30 pm Family Service
Children of the church will lead the Children's Pageant, and all children are invited to participate as shepherds, wise men, angels, and more! We will also have a fiber-optic candlelight.
