We invite you to join us this Christmas Eve at 4:30pm, for our traditional candlelit service, inspired by the classic film “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas<\/a>.” This sweet and delightful family classic, directed by Jim Henson, is based on the classic tale “The Gift of the Magi.” Watching from home or afar? Join via livesteam at our channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an all-ages service, meaning there will be no YouthSpirit dismissal. There will also not be a staffed nursery during the service. As with previous years, we will have an activity table set up in Bell Hall who prefer to keep their hands and minds busy during service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During our time of generosity, we will take a collection for our Community Benefit Fund, providing emergency assistance to members of WellSprings and folks in our wider community who come to us in need of support, for their basic needs \u2013 rent, utility bills, healthcare costs, etc. Every year we replenish the fund with the offering from our Christmas Eve service, so we hope you will be moved to give generously \u2013 whether online, by check, or in-person in the hat. Click Here to Support The Emergency Assistance Fund<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will end our service with a cookie potluck. We invite you to bring a batch of your favorite cookies to share. Milk will be provided. There will be time for fellowship and holiday cheer right after our sunset service in Bell Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you will join us this Christmas Eve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
