Christmas Worship Services

Ministry Team • December 16, 2024

Worship at St. Peter's to celebrate the coming of our Lord together.

These are all excellent services to invite family members, neighbors, or that co-worker you've been talking to recently about your faith. Why are we Christian? They might be ready to hear what this is really all about, and it's not Santa.


Have you heard of our Blue Christmas service, but not quite sure what it's about?  As Christians, we know Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, and yes, there is plenty of reason to celebrate the birth of our Savior. However, hidden emotions like being alone, feeling overwhelmed, crushing sadness, grief, and loss require extra energy to hide during an already exhausting season. During our Blue Christmas service, we create a space at the foot of the cross where we can feel these very real emotions together and know that 'happiness' is not the same as hope.


Indeed, the hope for us is not in ourselves, but in Jesus Christ who has forgiven and redeemed us in spite of how we feel. The lighting will be low, tissues will be in every pew, and no matter the reason why you are there, you won't need to pretend for anyone else. Join us this Tuesday at 7 pm in our sanctuary as we experience some of these feelings together and recognize that in the body of Christ, we are never alone.
