Dear friends in Christ,
Greetings to you all as we come to the end of our Advent days and enter into the joyous celebration of the coming of the Lord Jesus as we remember His birth in Bethlehem.
Just a few announcements regarding coming worship services at Trinity in these days…
Christmas Eve:
We will hold our Christmas Eve Candlelight Eucharist on Friday evening at 7:00 PM. We plan to have in person worship at Trinity, and the service will be livestreamed as well on Facebook Live.
For those joining us online, please visit the church website for connection information and to find the evening’s order of service so you can share in the carols, prayers, and praise of this holy night. Also, for those worshiping from home: we invite you to have a candle (and something to light it with) so that you can join us in hearing the Christmas Gospel and the singing of “Silent Night” by candlelight when we come to that point in the service.
Christmas Day:
There will be a Christmas Day Festival Eucharist on Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. This will be a different service from the one held the night before, and is especially for our members who would like to be at church for Christmas, but don’t come out at night. All are still welcome to join us at Trinity, and the service will also be livestreamed as well.
The Sunday after Christmas – December 26th:
Note: There will be NO Sunday Morning Bible Study on this day.
Our regular Sunday Worship will be held at 9:30 AM, both in person and on livestream. As has become a bit of tradition for us, the sermon this Sunday will be replaced by a Christmas Carol Sing. For those watching online, we will try our best to “take requests” from you through comments on Facebook.
Livestream links, as well as copies of the orders of service, are available on the church website: www.tlcmr.org. Or you can log on to the livestream directly on our church Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/trinityelcmountrainier
God’s blessings and peace be with all of us in these days of celebrating Christ!
In His love,
+Pastor
