Celebrate Christmas at Christ Lutheran
by Christ Lutheran Church
Christmas is a special time at Christ Lutheran Church. Life today can be very busy and noisy, if not downright chaotic and confusing. At Christ Lutheran, it is our aim to guide and grow people into paths that are ancient, wise and true. Celebrate with us at one of our Christmas Eve services at 11am, 5pm and 11pm. Perhaps the best way to get a better feel for what it's like here is to join us for Sunday morning worship at 8am or 10:30am. Nursery care is available at each.
Our Sunday Catechism Hour from 9:15am to 10:15am offers spiritual formation for every age and stage of life. In addition to Sunday School, we have small groups for the whole family, including student ministry and adult bible studies for men, women and couples. Whether you're exploring churches or looking for a place to call home, see for yourself what makes Christ Lutheran so special.

"A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees;
O hear the angel voices!"

A Weary World Rejoices
by Andy Mattick
The Advent and Christmas season is a time of profound hope and renewal. In a world weary from challenges and uncertainties, we are reminded of the promise of Christ's birth. The light of the Savior breaks into the darkness, offering peace and joy that transcends our burdens. As we wait and prepare, we are invited to rejoice, not because all is perfect, but because God is with us, bringing restoration, love and hope to the most weary and heavy-laden hearts. Our theme for 2024 circles around the words of the beloved Christmas song, "O Holy Night," "a weary world rejoices."
Join us for worship at 9am for choir and hymns or 10:30am for praise music. We offer an original musical the morning of December 15 at both worship services. For those who are struggling or grieving, consider our Blue Christmas service on Monday, December 16 at 7pm. For Christmas Eve, we offer a Family Service at 3pm; identical candlelight services featuring our choir and band at 7:30pm and 9pm and a candlelight and communion service at 11pm.
We are #hereforgood.
