Save the Date: Christmas at Tabernacle

Our Christmas events this year will be an encouragement to all of us as we celebrate the hope that we find in Christ during this special time of year. Mark your calendar so you can be a part of these joyous celebrations. All three events will be live-streamed on the church's website.

December 6 - Christmas at Tabernacle (5 PM)

The Tabernacle Choir & Orchestra and our children's worship arts groups will lead in a night of inspiring Christmas music. Free tickets will be required due to room capacity limits and ticket information will be released next week. Childcare will be available for children age 3 and younger.

December 13 - Service of Consolation with The Lord's Supper (5 PM)

This worship service will be a new experience for us this year. The service will consist of three parts: we will read names of those church members and family members who have passed away this year, we will light candles to symbolize the emotions and burdens of this year, and we will take The Lord's Supper together. This service will be very meaningful as we have walked these months together. Childcare will be available for children 3 and younger.

December 24 - Christmas Eve Service (5 PM)

The Christmas Eve service is always a meaningful time as we gather together to celebrate the coming of Christ to the world. We will sing Christmas carols, have a special moment for kids, and light candles at the end of the service. Free tickets will be required due to room capacity limits. Childcare will not be available as we encourage all families to worship together in the worship center.

UPCOMING DATES

The church office will be closed on November 26 & 27 for Thanksgiving. There will also be no Wednesday night activities on November 25 and the Life Center will be closed on November 28. Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas Store Sign-Up

Christmas Store

It's time for the Christmas Store again and we have modified the process to ensure the safety and health of all involved due to COVID-19. The sign-up list is digital this year and can be accessed by clicking the button below. If you sign up to serve a child or family, you will be contacted soon. Because of our modified procedures, we are only asking for toys and clothing for families this year. The Christmas Store will be a drive-through style distribution. All items must be turned in by November 29 so that there is time to prepare for the December 10 event day. Click the button below for the sign-up form.
