Why Your Family Should Join Us This December
December has a way of filling up fast. Parties, shopping, school programs, travel. By the time Christmas morning arrives, a lot of families feel like they’ve been running a marathon and somehow missed the finish line.
This year, we’d love to help you slow down and actually enjoy the season together.
Start with Sunday mornings. Our new series, O Come, Let Us Adore Him, walks through three simple invitations:
- Come and See (Dec 6): Do I really know Jesus, or just the Christmas story?
- Come and Bring (Dec 13): What can I give Jesus this Christmas?
- Come and Adore (Dec 20): What would it look like for me to truly worship Jesus?
Each week we’ll look at the nativity through the eyes of the shepherds and the wise men, and ask how we respond to the One they came to see.
Then enjoy the fun that goes with it. Every Sunday in December has something hands-on for the whole family:
- Nov 29, Light the Way: Make your own family Advent wreath.
- Dec 6, Deck the Halls: Decorate ornaments and pick up this year’s GCC keepsake ornament.
- Dec 13, Jingle & Mingle: Christmas games, snacks, and time with your church family.
- Dec 20, A Very Sweet Christmas: Cookie decorating stations and a hot chocolate bar.
Each week you’ll also take home an Advent candle and devotional, so the conversation about Jesus keeps going at your own dinner table.
And two nights you won’t want to miss:
- The Great Big Christmas Game Show (Wed., Dec 2 and Thurs., Dec 3, 6:30 pm): Two nights of laughter and friendly competition, game show style.
- A Fireside Christmas (Dec 20, evening): Fire pits, live Christmas music, s’mores, cocoa, a kids’ craft, and a candlelight singalong to close the night.
Kids remember traditions. They remember the smell of cookies and the glow of candles, and the feeling of being together. When those moments are tied to the real reason we celebrate, they become more than memories. They become a foundation.
You don’t need to have it all together to come. You don’t need to know where to sit or what to say. Just bring your family, and we’ll save you a seat.
O come, let us adore Him. We’d love to do it with you.
