Candlelight Service
Joel Thurston, Elder
This Christmas Eve service is a special family-centered gathering filled with Scripture, worship, and a candlelight celebration of the birth of Jesus. Elder Joel Thurston invites children to the stage and walks through the Christmas story in a way meant to be seen, heard, and remembered together as families.
Teaching from Matthew 2, this message focuses on the story of the Magi and reminds us that while good things come to those who wait, the best things come to those who worship. Through thoughtful interaction with kids and adults alike, we are invited to see Christmas not just as a moment we wait for, but as an opportunity to actively watch, prepare, and worship King Jesus.
The service concludes with a candlelight moment and worship, symbolizing Jesus as the light of the world: a light meant to be shared with one another and carried into the year ahead.
