Please use this outline as you participate in our online worship. You can also download a PDF of our order of worship, here. The weekly announcements for our community can be found on our website home page.
Our online worship can begin whenever you and your family would like to experience worship. It will be available by 11:00 a.m. on Christmas Eve. Grab a candle to recall the light of Christ - YOUR ADVENT WREATH if you are able - something that you can use for communion, and your offering, so that you are ready to worship God. If you have a taper candle to use for the end of worship, we would love to share the light with you!
