CHRISTMAS AT CCC

Christmas Eve Services

December 24th

3:00pm | 5:00pm | 7:00pm

Welcome to Christmas at CCC!

We will be hosting Christmas Eve services on campus on December 24th. These will be family-friendly services so bring the family and be ready to celebrate the birth of our Savior!

You can expect an hour-long service filled with music, fun for the kids, and a message brought by Pastor Dan.

If you can’t join us in person, we will have online broadcasts at 5:00pm and 7:00pm

Have Questions? We Have Answers!

Tell Me More About the Services

All three services will be identical in program and length and are designed for families to worship together. There will be a heavy focus on Christmas Carols, new and old, and near the end of the service, there will be a candlelight hymn. We will provide candles for adults and glow sticks for young children so that everyone can participate safely.

Do I Need a Ticket?

Nope! This year we will not be handing out tickets, so come to whichever service best suits you and your family. We do recommend getting to the church a little early to ensure seating. If you’re worried about finding enough seating, we recommend attending at 3:00 PM or 7:00 PM, as our 5:00 PM service is historically the most well-attended.

Which Venues are Available?

The Worship Center and SouthPoint are available as venues at all three service times. SouthPoint will be a broadcast venue, so there will not be a live band. If there are no seats available in the Worship Center, we ask that you make your way to SouthPoint. “Big Room” will also be opened up as a family room, with comfortable seating for more active children and families.

Will there be kids programming?

There will not be Adventure Kids programming on Christmas Eve. However, Big Room (located across the hall from the Worship Center) will be available as a Family Room for those with children who may be a little antsy during the service. Activities and crafts will be provided by our Adventure Kids team and the service will still be broadcast into the Family Room all evening.

Do I Need a Mask?

You may choose to wear a mask if that makes you feel more comfortable as you worship with us, but masks will not be required in any of our venues on Christmas Eve.

THE SEASON OF ADVENT

Advent means “coming.” During the season of advent, we both remember and rehearse the coming of Jesus Christ our savior. Just as God illuminates our hearts through the revelation of his name, we light a candle each week of advent to remind ourselves that we depend upon His salvation to light our way.

“Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! Say among the nations, ‘The Lord reigns! Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.’ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Psalm 96

“And Mary said ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble state; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

Luke 1:46-55
