Each Saturday night during the season of Advent (12/20) Advent Vespers: A Saturday Night Spiritual Formation Opportunity - , you are invited to participate in the communal practice of contemplative waiting. Centered on silence, with readings from many Christian traditions, we will gather around an advent wreath to prayerfully and reflectively consider that for which we are waiting: the arrival of Emmanuel, God with us. The service begins at 5pm and will last 45 minutes. Each service will be held in Union Chapel.

December 21 -  Christmas Cantata
During worship on December 21st at 10am, the choir will be presenting their annual cantata. The service will include instrumentalists and narrators to retell the story of Christ’s birth and to present a reminder of the comfort and joy we have in the miracle of grace. Mark your calendars and plan to attend this special service of music and praise.

December 24 - Christmas Eve Candlelight Service The Advent season culminates on this night: join us at 7pm at First Presbyterian Church as we celebrate the nativity of the Christ child. We welcome you to our Christmas Eve service, as our hopeful waiting becomes a fulfilled promise that God was, is, and always will be among us!
