One of the most often repeated verses we hear at Christmas comes from the first chapter of the Gospel of John where we read: "And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:14)

Every Christmas Eve we gather together to remember and celebrate the good news that God came to dwell with those who couldn't otherwise come to God. 

This year, we'll have a time to gather corporately for worship on Christmas Eve. But all throughout the weekend, we'll also have the opportunity to bring a simple, experiential Christmas Pageant to nursing homes and group homes all over the North Shore, so that we can share the love of Christ with those who are unable to get out and come to a church service.

We will be visiting:
