God With Us

A Service of Comfort and Hope

December 14, 2023 | 6:00 p.m. | Sanctuary
For some of us, the holiday season feels a little different. It might be that we are remembering someone we have lost, or perhaps we are grieving the loss or change of a relationship or life event. For any of those reasons, this time of year can simply feel harder for us than it might for others. If you need a quiet place to reflect, please join us as we look to Jesus, hold on to one another, and seek the Spirit as we walk together through this sacred season.

Chaotic Christmas Eve Service
