On December 20, Pilgrim children, youth and adults will bring to the nativity story to life with the reading and dramatic interpretation of “The Christmas Star.” This original story was written by Rev. Charlotte Frantz as a Christmas gift for the children in the first congregation she served. It has been re-written as a drama by Rachael Kresha. The service begins at 10:00 a.m.
At 4:00 in the afternoon, Pilgrims will go Christmas carolling. They will return to the church at 6:00 for a pizza party. Come one, come all! Enjoy the winter weather and help spread a little Christmas cheer!
We’re already had our Hanging of the Greens service on the first Sunday of Advent! The greens and white lights are up in the sanctuary, the poinsettias have arrived and the purple paraments declare the season of Advent. It’s a time for waiting, watching, wondering and worshiping! This Sunday is our annual Advent Worshop–lunch follows the worship service and then children, youth and adults can make gifts, tree ornaments, and Christmas decorations. If you aren’t into crafts, join those who have chosen to watch The Soloist on DVD.
On December 13, the Pilgrim Choir, accompanied by Velda Bell on organ, will present Saint Saens’ Christmas Oratorio as the focus of our morning worship. The service begins at 10:00.
On December 20, children, youth and adults will present an original story, The Bethlehem Star, as part of our worship service.
And on Christmas Eve we gather at 10:00 to worship the Christ Child and wonder at the gracious love of God sent in human form so long ago.
