Come celebrate the birth of Christ! We will join together in a Christmas Eve candlelight service beginning at 7pm on Saturday December 24. Then fill your Christmas morning with music and worship as we gather for a single service at 10am on Sunday December 25 and sing some of our favorite Christmas hymns, enjoy the reading of the Christmas Story, and praise God for this child born to us.

On New Year's Day we will be ringing in the New Year with more Christmas favorites, as well as a time to begin fresh and new with some Godly resolutions!

Come and ring in the New Year with an evening of food, fellowship and fun. We will come together at 8pm and spend the evening playing games and enjoying fellowship together until the New Year is here! Bring a favorite snack dish and drink for the evening and we will share them with one another.

The buzz in the Marketplace is that Jesus is about to be born. Isn't it amazing...He's coming!

Imagine if you will a Palestinian village and the hubbub and fervor that would be going on there. EXPERIENCE what life was like where Jesus was born, SMELL the aroma of bakeries, HEAR the sounds of workers and animals, SEE the villagers gossiping at the well, PRACTICE occupational skills of the times, JOURNEY with the caravan to visit the great storyteller, SING along with the songs of the season, WRITE Hebrew in the scribes shop.

Through Advent & Christmas we will be concentrating on Simply Christmas: Spend Less and Worship More.
