Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14
Come as you are
Good news for everyone
Christmas is the news that God didn’t wait for us to find our way to him. He came to us, as a child, to people who weren’t ready. That’s still the good news we gather around.
First time in church?
You don’t need to know anything. Every word and every carol is in the bulletin you’ll be handed at the door, so you can follow along or simply listen.
Bringing children?
Children are welcome on Christmas Eve, little voices, wiggles and all. We’re also planning a children’s Christmas pageant on a separate day in December; the date is coming soon.
The music
The carols you know and love, sung with our choir, led by Music Director Sterling Cozza.
Christmas Eve
A church dressed for Christmas
Poinsettias and greens, the nativity set out before the altar, and neighbors, families, and friends singing the carols together.
Plan your visit
At the red door
Welcome, whoever you are
Families with little ones, neighbors from down the block, friends visiting for the holidays. On Christmas Eve the red door is open, and someone is there to say hello.

Silent Night
By candlelight
The lights go down, the candles are lit, and the whole church sings Silent Night together, children and all.
