Advent and Christmas Events
Decorating the Church
The Flower Committee will be decorating the church on Saturday, December 5th at 10am. Contact Sue Saufley Sullivan with questions.
Christmas Open House
Join us Sunday, December 13th from 3-6pm for a Christmas Open House sponsored by the Evangelism and Outreach Committee. We will have a reception, including finger sandwiches, sweets, and holiday drinks, and there will be music playing throughout, provided by Susan Shewmaker and other local musicians. Please plan to come now and invite your friends, family, and neighbors. Food will be in the Ladies’ Parlor, but the sanctuary and other areas will be open for mingling and enjoying our beautifully decorated sanctuary.
Christmas Caroling and Christmas Day Gathering
We will go Christmas Caroling on Sunday, December 20th at 1:30pm. Mark your calendars now for this festive annual event! Also, please mark your calendars for a special new event on Christmas Day. From 3-6pm, we will open up the church for a Christmas Day drop-in for hot chocolate and Christmas treats, singing songs, and enjoying fellowship on this day when we celebrate the birth of our Savior. Christmas is typically a time for families to gather, but many in our community and even in our church find themselves alone on Christmas day. Please come join us to celebrate Christmas together with our church family. Think of those individuals or families you know who might especially appreciate this time to gather with others and share God’s love. Both of these events are sponsored by the Worship Committee. If you have any questions, contact David Bradshaw.
“Blue Christmas” Service
On Sunday, December 20th at 7pm, we will have a special service at Burgin Christian Church. While Christmas is often a time of joy and celebration, for many it also is a time of sorrow and grief. This service seeks to honor honest feelings and troubled hearts around the holidays. All are invited. Bring someone you need, or come with someone who needs to be there. We will meet at our church at 6:30pm and travel over together, or you can meet us in Burgin at 7pm. There will be a reception following. If you would like to contribute something for the reception, or if you have any further questions, contact Stephanie or Andy.
Christmas Eve Service
We will again join with Harrodsburg Christian Church and Harrodsburg United Methodist Church for a Christmas Eve service at Harrodsburg Christian Church. The service will begin at 7pm, and we hope many from our church are able to attend this special service.
