Christmas at Christ United

 

Celebrate the wonder of Christmas at Christ United! This Advent, we invite you to join us for joyful gatherings, beautiful music, and meaningful celebrations that honor the birth of Jesus.

Advent is a season of anticipation. For some, the anticipation for Christmas begins the day after Thanksgiving, and for others, in October.  May this season be a time of personal expectant waiting of what Jesus, the Son of God wants to do you in your life, family, and church.

This Advent, join us for our sermon series “He Shall Be Called.” Each week, we will reflect on a name that reveals the heart of who Jesus is—Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, and Immanuel—and the hope and promise each title brings. The series concludes with Simeon’s Prayer—The Wait is Over, as we celebrate the arrival of our Savior. Come and prepare your heart for Christmas as we reflect together on the true meaning of the season. 

Mark your calendars for a season filled with joy, hope, peace, and love. Christmas at Christ United awaits!

This Advent season, we invite you to join us in the spirit of giving through Christ United’s Advent Missions Offering. This Advent season is a time when our hearts are moved by compassion and generosity. This year, your gifts will support two remarkable initiatives, each bringing hope, restoration, and opportunity to those in need.
