Upcoming Events
The Other Side of Christmas
December 5 & 6, 7:30 pm
December 7, 2pm
This play explores the holiday season, focusing on moments that aren’t typically depicted in holiday cards. Hosted by Thomas May on a radio show, the play offers a humorous and heartfelt look at the
challenges and unexpected aspects of
Christmas, emphasizing the importance of human connection and embracing imperfections rather than striving for an idealized version of the holiday. It’s about finding the true meaning of Christmas by acknowledging the less glamorous, yet more relatable, experiences of the season.

Christmas Eve Worship Service
Dec 24th, 8:00 PM
Hear the ancient story once more—simple, holy, and full of promise for our world today. As the lights dim, we will share in one of the most cherished moments of the night: the candlelit singing of “Silent Night.” One flame becomes many, reminding us that Christ’s light still shines in every hopeful heart.
