“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” – Matthew 1:21, NIV
Before and after the morning program, stroll through our Makers Marketplace, featuring local artisans and creators whose handcrafted goods, trinkets, and treasures reflect their care and creativity. This year, the full Marketplace will be open on both Saturday and Sunday, giving you plenty of time to explore.
Tickets are available at the Kiosk during our Sunday gatherings, online, or in the Church Office for $15 each ($20 at the door, if available). Your ticket will include entry to the morning program, a special gift from us to you, and a delicious morning treat with your choice of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa.
We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!
This Christmas, we invite you to set aside Saturday, December 6, to celebrate the greatest treasure of all—Jesus! Our theme this year is the God Who Has a Name, and we are thrilled to welcome guest speaker Carmen Joy Imes.
