3 pm - Interactive Family Service (Sanctuary)
Our 3:00 interactive family service is perfect for kids of all ages! During the service, we will have bells for children to play, glow sticks, kid-friendly communion, and an interactive retelling of the Christmas story! Children are invited to dress up as wise men, shepherds, angels, etc., and offer their voices to proclaim the Christmas story. We provide the costumes; just show up around 2:20 to select your costume for a brief rehearsal! Following the service, we will enjoy cookies and cocoa together on the church lawn!
