Comfort & Joy – A Family Christmas Event
December 21 10:00 am
Christmas Eve
Come celebrate together this Christmas Eve! At our Christmas Eve Candlelight Services, we remember the birth of Jesus and the light He brings into the world. We gather together, light candles, and share in the joy and peace of this holy night. The warm glow of the candles reminds us that even in the darkest times, Jesus’s love shines bright. Each of our services has a unique feel and style and will be both in-person and online. We can’t wait to see you, your friends, and your family!

Christmas Mission Offering
TUCSON REFUGEE MINISTRY
Each year, the Mission Committee identifies a worthy mission partner to receive a special Christmas Offering that runs through the Advent season.
Our Christmas Offering this year will support a social enterprise project being launched by Tucson Refugee Ministry (TRM). Good Samaritan Coffee, a coffee truck business, will provide life-changing job training for refugees as well as create a sustainable funding stream for Tucson Refugee Ministry. Refugee participants will enroll in a 6-month structured training program in food service, customer service and small business operations and will earn Food Handler’s certification. Tucson Refugee Ministry will benefit from Good Samaritan’s revenue, which is needed to supplement donations and grants that keep TRM operational.
Volunteers
Volunteers for Advent
You can make the difference. None of this is possible without the body of Christ working together. We invite you to take the step to use your gifts and skills to set the stage for God to work. On our Volunteer Teams, you’ll be a part of creating a comfortable environment for those attending our services so they can be open to hear the truth of God’s Word. You are truly influencing environments where life change happens.
Advent is the highest season for newcomers, returners, and guests. Please consider volunteering over the next four weeks, alleviating the overloading of Church Staff, and creating a welcoming space for others to experience the love of Christ at each of our services and events!
