We did not do a combined service for Christmas eve, but this year we made sure that we offered 3 different unique times to the folks of our community.
Horton Congregational 6:30pm
Hillside UMC 7:00pm
HHCC 11:00pm
The members of our congregations were encouraged to attend whichever service fit into their Christmas plans.
For HHCC, it was the first time a 11:00pm service had ever been done, and there was a great turnout!
In 2015 three churches on Moscow Road in Horton Michigan embarked on a NEW THING. Honoring what scripture states in Ephesians 4:3 "Make every effort to KEEP the UNITY". At first it was unclear what form this would actually take, but as the months progressed, UNITY in our commUNITY blossomed. This blog is a record of those events, and a place where upcoming events are posted. Please be encouraged by a community that chooses to serve God Almighty together as one body of believers, and join us!
Our kids favorite part was that they got to wear pj's to church and worship at the same time :) They enjoyed having cookies and hot chocolate too :) It was a huge success :)
ReplyDeletePJ's!! that is so awesome Brigett, first i heard of that :) Sorry I missed it!!
DeleteJanice and I came to the service and I can say that that the service was great! I loved that we gathered in the front of the sanctuary in a circle and shared God's light with the lit candles. For me personally I thought that the circle of lit candles represented the light and love of God has for us and that it always encircles us and goes on forever.
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed this service. You could feel God's presence during the entire service. God is GOOD!
