“Come and See”
– Jesus’ words to Andrew. The first words spoken to the first disciple of Jesus. This Advent & Christmas season we invite you to “come and see,” like Andrew, just how wonderful this Messiah truly is.
Celebrate Christ’s Mass with us at Faith’s Christmas Services in Oregon, WI. In three different services – not in style, but in theme – hear from each of the three accounts of our Savior’s Incarnation in Scripture. We warmly welcome you to come to any, and we encourage you to come to all.
We know you will be richly blessed. Come and see your Savior!
Christmas Eve Vigil | 9:00 am – Dec. 24
Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year. When this happens, the vigil, historically celebrated by the church at night, gets moved to the morning. It’s still Advent (the color remains blue), but the service begins to sound a lot like Christmas. The Gloria in Excelsis is not sung yet, but returns in all its angelic glory in the first mass of Christmas, commonly known as the “Midnight Mass” (which we will move to 6:30pm this year).
Christmas Eve (by Candlelight) | 6:30pm – Dec. 24
This year, because the vigil will be in the morning, we will be transferring our Midnight Mass liturgy to our 6:30pm service. The service is entirely candle-lit and includes the Lord’s Supper, or Christ’s Mass, as well as many familiar Christmas hymns.
New first-time visitors to Faith will receive a choice of a free book (~$15 value), 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?
After the service, we will be serving Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows (even roasted over little open fires!).
