Advent Wreath Event

Children's Ministry invites families (of all ages) to make tabletop Advent wreaths at 10:30am, between the two Sunday morning services. Tabletop Advent wreaths include candles to light each week with a suggested scripture reading.

Christmas Memorial Service

Join us for a beautiful service to remember loved ones who have passed and who will be missed during this Christmas service. This will be a memorable time in what can be a difficult season for those dealing with grief.

Children's Ministry Christmas Movie (Pre-K to 5th Grade)

Parents, you are welcome to drop off your elementary kids for a movie party - and enjoy a date night (even if that means working on holiday preparations!). Please RSVP so we can prepare plenty of snacks and volunteers. If children under age 5 would like to participate, please reach out to CM staff to help us ensure there are enough adults to care for preschoolers.

Youth Christmas Party

All 6th-12th graders are welcome to celebrate Christmas together with ugly sweaters and a gift exchange!

Kid's Christmas Choir

Children's Ministry has a special treat for us! Come and enjoy a Christmas Choir preformed by our Children's Ministry students for both services.

No Sunday morning services

Merry Christmas Eve! Enjoy a morning at home with family and friends! Join us for our evening candlelight services.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service

Come sing carols, listen to the Christmas story, and revisit the wonder of Christmas. Services will end with each person holding their own lit candle and singing Silent Night. Childcare will be available for infants - age 5.

One Big Winter Service

We're inviting everyone to wear those Christmas Sweaters one last time before packing them away! Join us for a special time of worship and celebration as the holidays come to an end. After service, we will be having such refreshments and a Christmas Clean-Up Party!

Give

Matching Gift Opportunity

Generous givers have contributed $15,300 toward matching end of year gifts for our church. This is an opportunity for new givers and special gifts to have double the impact toward our 2023 budget goals and starting the new year well. To contribute, please designate “Matching Gift” on the memo of your check, or select that option when donating online through our website or app.

Richmond Elementary School

We’re continuing the tradition of giving to families at our local school over Winter Break. This year, the school requested 10 food boxes, 10 care boxes, and individual care items the school will distribute as needed. Visit the giving tree display in the lobby to choose items to donate. Please return donations to church by Dec 3 to prepare for delivery on Dec 11.

Maui Fire Relief Efforts

Earlier this fall we partnered with Citizen Church in Maui to support their Fire Relief efforts while they were providing 3000 meals per day. This Christmas we will collect funds to support their ongoing ministry to the 6000 displaced residents in their community. Designate Maui on your gift.
