Christmas Services

Five services,
one weekend

Saturday's the one we'd pick if we were bringing kids. The whole family sits together, and parking's easier.

Saturday, Dec 19

4:00 | 6:00 PM
Two services. Kids stay with you and worship in the main service.

Sunday, Dec 20

8:00 | 9:45 | 11:30 AM
Three services. Come at 8:00 and have the whole day ahead of you, or 11:30 for a slower start to the morning.

Come early
with the kids

There's more going on outside before the Saturday services than on a normal weekend.

01

Snow

Snow machines running outside. It's the bubble kind rather than the cold kind, which is honestly the better kind.

02

Photo ops

Candyland outside, more stations inside and upstairs. Bring your phone.

03

Kids stay with you

No check-in on Saturday. Kids sit with you for the whole service. Compassion Kids runs as normal on Sunday for ages 6 weeks to 11 years.

04

Coffee and treats

The lobby's open before and after. Grab something warm and stay a while.

Thursday, December 24 · 4:00 PM

Christmas
Eve Service

A separate service on a separate night, not a repeat of the weekend. One night, one story.

Kids stay with you the whole way through, and there's something to keep small hands busy. You'll be home in good time for the rest of your evening.

We only do this one once, so the room fills. Come a few minutes early if you can.

Saturday, December 5

Christmas on
the Square

Downtown Waverly, the same day as the Christmas parade. Free hot chocolate, a Candyland scavenger hunt through the shops, and a bounce house for the kids.

This is a community event. Come find us and say hello. Time to be announced.

December Series

Christmas
Playlist

Our December message series. Join us every Sunday this month as we unwrap the songs of Christmas.

Never Been?

Good to
know

What should I wear?

Whatever's comfortable. Jeans, boots, a Christmas sweater you regret. You'll fit right in.

I won't know anybody.

Plenty of people in that room won't either, especially at Christmas. Come, sit, and take it at your own pace.

Is Christmas Eve the same service?

No. Christmas Eve on the 24th is its own service on its own night. Plenty of families come to a weekend service and then Christmas Eve as well.

How long is it?

About an hour. Christmas Eve is shorter.

Will you ask me for money?

No. There's an offering, and guests aren't expected to give.

Where do I park?

Right out front. Our team in orange will wave you in and point you to a door.

What about my kids?

On Saturday and on Christmas Eve, kids stay with you and worship in the main service. On Sunday, Compassion Kids runs at all three services for ages 6 weeks to 11 years.

New Here?
