CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS EVE COMMUNION SERVICE
SUNDAY  |  DECEMBER 24, 2024 | 4 PM
IN-PERSON AND LIVE STREAMING 

You are invited to participate in our Christmas Eve service on December 24 at four p.m., either in person or online (at the website or on  YouTube).   Either way, we can celebrate the birth of Christ as one big church family. Westminster Church will present a full service, complete with Prayers, and Carols – including special music by the Westminster Choir, accompanied by Polly Brecht on the organ, communion, and candle-lighting. The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, to which all are welcome, will be celebrated by the Rev. Tim Mitchell, who will also bring the Christmas message.

Set your reminder now!

To participate in the lighting of the candles at home, use any candle you can find around the house and when prompted, light it, joining with those of us here on Moss Avenue as one church family.  The same is true of Communion.  Any bread and wine will do when set aside for use as the communion of the body and blood of Christ.  All are welcome at the Westminster table, because it is Christ’s table, not ours, and He is the host of the Eucharistic meal of Christmas. 

HOLY PRESENCE
This evening we celebrate the birth of the Christ child in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. This vulnerable infant is the incarnation of God on earth. What an awesome gift that God would choose to be present, in the flesh, with us. In this year when traditions are being broken for the safety of family and friends, we nevertheless remember the Christ, who came not with fanfare and glory but into the mundane realities of a broken and hurting world. Jesus Christ has come to dwell among us and draw us to him. Let us rejoice!

“I believe in Westminster’s missions of service to others and I like how biblical scholarship is integrated with scripture, providing more insight into understanding what Christ says is important.  These have only helped me to strengthen my faith.”
