The first Christmas sermon was preached to a small congregation consisting entirely of shepherds. The preacher was an angel. The message of his sermon? “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you.” That is a heavy word: Savior. It says as much about us as it does about this child.
Join us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as we ponder again the birth of the Son of God, the Savior of the World.
Our 7:00 PM Christmas Eve service will feature lessons and carols.
Our 10:00 AM Christmas Day service will be a service of praise to our newborn king and Savior
