Christmas at Faith
“Isaiah ‘Twas Foretold It”
Delight in the peace of Advent & Christmas with us at Faith this year. For this year’s Advent theme we will be visiting the Messianic prophesies of Isaiah, especially in chapters 7, 9, and 11 – how, 700 years before Christ was born into the world, Isaiah saw with prophetic vision and in vivid detail, the life and purpose of the Messiah. Follow along each day through our Advent Devotion series, which you can read on PDF, Kindle, or listen via podcast.
Then, when Christmas is here, celebrate ‘Christ’s Mass’ with us at Faith’s Christmas Services. We warmly welcome you to come to any, and we encourage you to come to all. We know you will be richly blessed.
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve | 8:00pm – Dec. 24
Christmas begins this night after the sun sets. The Gloria in Excelsis returns in all its angelic glory, our children will sing and recite a section of the Christmas narrative, many familiar Christmas hymns will be sung, and a portion of the service will be sung by candlelight.
New first-time visitors to Faith will receive a choice of a free book as our Christmas gift to you. Some books include “The Christmas Promise,” “Messiah: the Greatest Sermon Ever Sung,” “St. Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend,” “The Night before Jesus,” and “What Child Is This?”
Following the service, we will be serving Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows (even roasted over little open fires!).
Christmas Day
Christ’s Mass Divine Service | 9:00am – Dec. 25
Don’t forget the Mass in Christmas! Christ is born for us today in His Word and Sacraments. This joyous service tends to be lightly attended but with a hearty emphasis on the Word made Flesh.
John’s Gospel account of the Word becoming Flesh sets the theme for the morning. Christ has brought light to darkness.
Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows will be served this morning as well after the service.
