Joining saints throughout church history and around the world, we approach the season of Christmas where we give special attention to celebrate the incarnation of God’s Son Jesus Christ. As we turn our gaze to celebrate the first coming of Christ, we will gather on December 6 at 5pm for our annual Emmanuel Night of Congregational Christmas Singing. We encourage you to make plans to join us, as well as invite your family and friends. Light refreshments will be provided following the service.
This year our theme is “Christ the King is Born.” God the Son dwelt among us to live the life we could not live, die on the cross in our place, and rise again from the grave. Remarkably, Jesus Christ also ascends to heaven where he sits on his heavenly throne as King. In this way, Jesus was born to be a king. While royal imagery rightly pervades the celebration of Christmas, we often lose sight of the true reality that the baby born in Bethlehem now rules and reigns as King. Like those who awaited the first coming of Christ, we now wait for King Jesus to come again in glory to bring his kingdom down to earth in the New Creation. Therefore, with every song and every Scripture, we will gather to sing and celebrate the wondrous glories that “Christ the King is Born.”
