Christmas at Tabernacle!

This December, we will have three special worship services to help celebrate the Christmas season. All three events are open to the public, so invite someone you know to join us as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Below is a description of each event.

Christmas at Tabernacle (Sunday, December 2 at 5:00 pm) is our largest presentation and will feature festive Christmas music led by the Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra, 1 ^st -6 ^th grade kids worship arts groups, a costumed nativity scene, and dramatic elements. Also, don’t miss the all-church Christmas reception in Fellowship Hall immediately following the concert.

Silent Lord’s Supper (Sunday, December 23 at 5:00 pm) is a meditative time to observe The Lord’s Supper without spoken words or singing. This shorter service will be accompanied by instrumental music and will focus our hearts around specific scripture passages and prayers.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (Monday, December 24 at 5:00 pm) is an exciting time as we share in the joy of Christ’s coming to earth. This family service will feature carol singing, the reading of the Christmas story for kids, and a mass candle lighting at the end of the service.
