Communion & Candlelight Christmas Eve Service December 24, 2025, 3pm, 5pmSermon: What Gift Will You Give Jesus? Scripture: Luke 2: 1-20, Matthew 2:1-12After weeks of watching and waiting for the light, Christmas Eve invites us to step fully into its glow. On December 24, we gather for our Communion & Candlelight Christmas Eve Service as we celebrate the birth of Christ—the Light who has come into the world.In the sermon, “What Gift Will You Give Jesus?”, we will reflect on the familiar yet holy story from Luke 2:1–20 and Matthew 2:1–12, listening again for how God meets ordinary people—shepherds and wise ones alike—and invites each of us to respond. Their gifts were acts of worship, trust, and devotion, reminding us that the truest gifts we bring are our hearts, our lives, and our willingness to follow.As candles are lit and communion is shared, we will remember that Christ’s light is not only something we receive, but something we carry into the world.Join us on Christmas Eve as we worship, wonder, and ask anew: What gift will you give Jesus?
