Christmas Eve Outdoor Service at the Manger 5:00pm - a short service on the front lawn of the church gathering around our outdoor manger to worship, tell the Christmas story, sing Christmas carols and of course a candlelit vigil of “Silent Night”. No space limits but Reservations required for contact tracing purposes
Diapers for Jesus - We have a long-standing tradition at our Christmas Eve service of having a baby shower for Jesus by bringing forward diapers and other baby goods (food, wipes, etc.) to the manger as an offering during the service.  These then go to babies and families in need in Worcester County.
Christmas Eve Indoor Candlelight Service 11pm –an abbreviated version of our traditional Lessons and Carols service,(telling the story of Jesus' birth through excerpts from the Bible and music) celebrating that holy night when Jesus, the light of the world, was born. Reservations will be required

Sunday Evening Worship
5:00-6:00 PM 
every 1st and 3rd Sunday 
in  the chapel (except July & August)


 Stay connected with God and your church in the midst of your busy lives.  We offer an additional, informal, Sunday evening service.  This is a small, simple service of singing, prayers, readings and a message from Pastor John; much of it simplified content from the 10:00 AM service.  It is family, kid, and adult friendly and less than an hour, with Communion on the first Sunday (not on the third).  If this is something that interests you and fits your schedule let us know or simply show up.  And yes, those of you zealots among us feel free to double dip and come twice.  Let us know if there are other ways we can help you stay connected.
