Grace is hosting two Christmas Eve service options at 3pm & 4:30pm. Each service will be identical and will feature Christmas carols, the Christmas story, and then end with a candlelight celebration. The services are family-friendly for all ages. There will be no Greenhouse or nursery at either service.

We also invite you join us each Sunday in December leading up to Christmas! Our focus each week will be on the hope that we find in Christ and how we see that leading up to His birth.
This December 7 starting at 10:30am, join us for a special day of unity and celebration as one church family! We’ll come together for a single service filled with joy and reflection—a time to celebrate the season with a message from our Christmas sermon series, worship, baptisms, and a performance by our Greenhouse Children's Choir. The Greenhouse nursery will be open for service and kids will join parents at tables after they sing. We will have special Christmas crafts for them to do.

After the service, stay for a lunch to celebrate the goodness of God from throughout the year in our church family. The main dish will be provided; bring your favorite sides or desserts to share as we enjoy a meal together as assigned here: last names A-P = side dish & dessert & last names Q-Z = side dish & salad. Want an easier option? If it’s more convenient for your family, you can simply contribute $10 per person eating, and we’ll take care of your side and dessert for you! Let us know by registering at the link below by 11/23. You can also let us know if you are available to help us with set up or clean up or if you want to meet about being baptized!
Contribute for sides, sign up for serving & baptisms

The Weary World Rejoices: Daily Devotions for Advent

For generations, churches and families have used Advent wreaths to help prepare for celebrating the Lord's birth at Christmas. The evergreen wreath symbolizes eternal life and includes four candles―typically three purple and one pink, with a white candle in the middle that symbolizes the purity of Christ. Various traditions assign different topics to each candle, and the candles are usually given names to remind us of the good news of Christ's birth.
