Christmas Eve
This year's Christmas Eve services will be put together with our CLC kids in mind! We will have childcare available for 0-2 year old kiddos for the 5PM service, however there will be no kid's programs or childcare for the 7PM or 9PM services. Instead, kids are invited and encouraged to join us in the sanctuary as we celebrate the birth of Jesus together!
The Month Of December
All month, our awesome KidZone Team has some pretty stellar things going on in KidZone to prepare our CLC Kids for Christmas! To learn more, be sure to check out their webpage right here.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is there for my kids on Christmas Eve?
A: Our goal for Christmas Eve is to create spaces for the whole family unit to celebrate Christmas together! So while we'll be having childcare for 0-2 year old kiddos for the 5PM service, there will be no KZ programs or childcare for the 7PM and 9PM services. Instead, congregants of all ages are encouraged to join us in the sanctuary as we celebrate the birth of Christ as a church family!
Q: How long are the Christmas Eve services?
A: Our goal is to wrap up our service in about 60-70 minutes (just in time for you to get home to put out some milk and cookies)!
Q: How do the drive-in services work?
A: For our drive-in services, you have two options! First (for those who want to keep an eye on the sky for Santa) you can pull up a lawn-chair and simply enjoy the service in the open air. Or, if you'd rather stay in your car, that is an option too! Simply park your car in our designated parking spots and tune your car radio to 104.1 FM. With our outdoor screen and radio tuner, you should be able to hear and see the service from the comfort of your car!
