What to expect
-
Each service lasts about one hour.
-
Whatever is comfortable to you. You'll see everything from sweaters to Sunday best.
-
Every service has family-friendly music and a message, and children are welcome at all three.
If you or your young one needs a break from the service, we have an unstaffed nursery available. It’s unstaffed so we request you stay with your child but you’ll be able to hear the service in there so stay as long you need. -
We have candles at each service, but the 10pm service would be special if you appreciate a dark space and shining, lit candles during “Silent Night”
-
Communion is always open to everyone, no questions asked. We serve wine and wafers or bread. Grape juice and gluten-free wafers are available. Feel free to ask the Communion Assistant when you’re receiving Communion if you have questions.
-
Parking and the main entrance are on the east side of the building, opposite of the street. Christmas Eve is busy, so arrive about 15 minutes early.
-
The Sanctuary is on the main floor. Wheelchair-accessible seating is available either right as you enter the Sanctuary or right at the front on the tile.
Hearing assistance devices are available to check out at the Welcome Desk.

Blue Christmas Worship

Blue Christmas is a worship service for anyone who finds this season difficult. On one of the longest nights of the year, we make room for grief, healing, and God's steady presence. Even if your own year feels bright, your presence can be a gift to others who need encouragement. No supper is served this night. Come as you are, and no sign-up is needed.
