We are offering three worship services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year at Evangelical.

Christmas Eve Service at 6 PM

Our 6 PM service will feature Pastor Cliff Flick in “Call Me Ahmet, Innkeeper.” The service will include special music and a children’s sermon. At the end of the service, will sing “Silent Night” with candle light in our darkened sanctuary. This service will not be live streamed.

Christmas Eve Service at 11 PM

Our 11 PM service will be a traditional Christmas Eve Service. Pastor Andrew will preach on what it means that we call Jesus “Emmanuel”. As part of our service we will celebrate Holy Communion. The choir will offer special music. We will conclude the service with singing “Silent Night” with candle light. This service will be live streamed.

Christmas Day at 10:15 AM

We will worship at our normal time on Christmas Day. There will be no Sunday school. Deacon Megan will offer a message about Jesus being the light in the darkness as we reflect on the opening words of John’s Gospel. The choir will offer a special anthem. Join us as we continue to celebrate Christmas! This service will be live streamed.

Creed (Sunday School)

by 1 Comment

What do Christians believe? When we recite the Apostle’s Creed on Sundays, what are we affirming? Pastor Andrew’s Sunday School class will explore these questions and more for six weeks in January and February. We will explore the Apostle’s Creed using Adam Hamilton’s book, Creed. Learn about the Apostle’s Creed and the basic tenets of our faith. Each week we will start with a time of prayer, an opportunity to share how life is going, we’ll watch a brief video, and we will then discuss the assigned reading. The class is being offered in person in our Zoom room or on Zoom.

Participants should pick up a copy of Adam Hamilton’s Creed. If you would like the church to order a copy of the book for you. Please contact the church office. The cost of the book is 13.50. If the cost of the book will be a problem, please talk to Pastor Andrew. If you would like to order through the church, please let us know by Sunday, December 25th.
