This Christmas, take a moment to embrace the timeless story of a baby born in a humble stable, destined to bring salvation to the world. Join us for a heartfelt Christmas Eve service filled with traditional carols, inspiring music, and the warmth of candlelight. The service begins at 7:00 PM at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and will last about an hour. Let’s celebrate the true meaning of Christmas together.
In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website.
Thanks to our musicians Curtis & Anika Howell and Cvetozar Vutev.

Opening of the Bible
Call to Worship & Lighting of the Christ Candle
We gather to celebrate the birth of Christ, the Prince of Peace.
We celebrate the advent of hope, peace, joy and love.
We light the Christ candle,
a brilliant reminder of the new life promised in Jesus’ birth.
(Light the Christ candle)
May the warmth and light of Christ comfort all people,
bringing courage to the weary and strength to the oppressed.
Holy One, by the power of your Spirit, help us to shine your light brightly
in concrete demonstrations of hope, peace, joy and love.
We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
