Christmas Eve Service

There is no room for Mary and Joseph in the inn. They are displaced from their home, journeying to fulfill their civic requirements to be counted in the census. And yet, the time comes to give birth where they are, and so a humble home is found. A place is made, among the feeding trough, in a cramped room abounding with chaos. In many ways, Jesus is born without an invitation, and yet, he devotes his life to inviting people who are cast out. In the same way, we might imagine the story of Christmas as God’s invitation to be welcomed home despite all barriers. How will we respond?

We invite you to join us on Christmas Eve at 7PM in person or online for a joyful and tender celebration of God's invitation home—home to our hearts, home to our communities of belonging, and home to this world, the world God calls "home" too.

Our time together will feature music from the FCCBC choir, a story for children told by our own Jaimie Fales, communion, and candlelight. We can't wait to see you. Come on home!
