Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion
December 24, 5:00 pm
Sea Island will celebrate Christmas Eve with a Candlelight Communion Service beginning at 5:00 pm in the sanctuary. In addition to singing Christmas Carols, hearing the gospel story of Christ’s birth, and breaking bread and sharing the cup of our Lord, we will light our respective Christmas candles as we sing, “Silent Night, Holy Night!”
1st Sunday of Christmas
10:30 am, December 26, in the Sanctuary
In fourteen short days, we will celebrate the birth of Emmanuel (God with us) in Bethlehem. In the tradition of the first Christmas when all was quiet and still, there will be one worship service which will be conducted at 10:30 am. We will read from the gospel of John and hear how the Word of God became flesh and lived among us. We will also recognize, again, that the liturgical year with its stories about Christ begins to accelerate as we transition from Christmas to Epiphany on January 6.
