Celebrate Christmas & Epiphany at Holy Spirit

There will be a 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. service of Word and Sacrament on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24. We will celebrate the festival of The Epiphany of Our Lord on Sunday, January 5th at 9:30 a.m.

Christmas Eve Services

There will be two services of Word and Sacrament on Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24.  The 6:00 p.m. service will be geared toward families with children. The children will assist the pastor in presenting the Christmas message and will include the singing of Silent Night by candlelight.  The 10:00 p.m. service will be the traditional liturgy as well as the singing of Silent Night by candlelight.  Plan now to attend one or both services. To take in the full effect of the later service, come early to hear wonderful music which will prepare us for worship. Of God.

 

Epiphany of Our Lord

We will celebrate the festival of The Epiphany of Our Lord on Sunday, January 5th at 9:30 a.m. beginning with the service of Word & Sacrament.  Following worship an all-congregation event will be held in the narthex featuring a craft, music and the Rite of the Blessing of Our “House” for the new year.
