Christmas and New Year's Services at Northaven
Information on Northaven's Special holiday
services
Please plan to be present for worship during
Northaven's special holiday worship services in the next two weeks. There are
many different services that will be inspiring and uplifting to your spirit.
It's an exciting time at Northaven Church, and you won't want to miss the very
first Christmas/New Year's services in Northaven's new
sanctuary.
All of the following services will be held in the new sanctuary:
Christmas Eve 5:30 pm:
This worship service will be geared specially for families and children. It will feature music of the season, and a re-telling of the Christmas story that invites the congregation to take a part by providing sound effects that add to the story. The service will end with the singing of "Silent Night," and the lighting of Christmas Eve candles.
Christmas Eve 11 pm:
This worship service will be an abbreviated "Lessons and Carols" service. It will feature the reading of many of the traditional Christmas scriptures, and the singing of many of the traditional Christmas hymns. It will also end with the singing of "Silent Night" and the lighting of Christmas Eve candles.
Christmas Day Worship 11 am:
Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, and Northaven will hold regular Sunday worship. Michael Hawn will be our worship/song leader, and Eric Folkerth will be our preacher. There will be communion, and the "Great Thanksgiving" will be a special Christmas litany that is sung by the whole congregation. The first part of the service will feature a "carol sing" of favorite Christmas carols. Michael Hawn and Jerry Bywaters-Cochran will also dance and sing a moving version of "Silent Night."
(There will be no regular Sunday School on Christmas Day)
New Year's Eve "Watch Night" Service 7 pm:
Let by Rev. Gary McDonald, this traditional Methodist service will feature the Wesleyan "Covenant Prayer." It's a traditional way of bringing in the New Year. Families of all ages are invited to this worship service, which will be followed by a Youth Lock-In. Contact John Hughes for more information about the New Year's Eve lock in.
New Year's Day Worship 11 am:
New Year's Day also falls on a Sunday. So, before you settle in for bowl games, please come to worship! This service will also be a "Covenant Service" that will feature the traditional Methodist "Covenant Prayer." We will offer special "Prayers of the People" that look back on the year that has been, and forward to the year that will be. And because it's a "first Sunday" we'll also have holy communion this day; an even better way to start your new year than Black-eyed Peas.
(There will be no regular Sunday School on New Year's Day)
Church Office Holiday Schedule:
Except for Sundays, the church offices will be closed from December 26 through January 2nd. The offices will open again on January 3rd. Should you have a pastoral emergency during the holidays, please contact Eric Folkerth at: 972-980-7240.
