12 Days of Christmas: At at home worship experience 
We invite families and individuals to participate in this new at home worship experience that we have cultivated to help families and individuals to extend the celebration of Christmas and focus on the gifts that God has given us. Starting on December 15, families and individuals can pick up their activity bag from the table outside the Sanctuary. Inside the bag you will find everything you need for 12 days of worship at home.
