Christmas Eve 2023

December 24, 2023

Our 3 Christmas Eve services on Sunday are packed with Christmas music, 3 different messages and, of course, the lighting of the Christ candle during the afternoon and evening services.

In the morning, there is one combined service at 10 a.m. The praise band will lead us in music and Pastor Quentin’s message is entitled: “Love Gets Us to the Right Place” and will center on the scripture from Luke 2: 1-6 The final and fourth advent candle will be lit.

The Christmas Eve candlelight family service starts at 5 p.m. and will include solos and the children singing “I’ll Give Him My Heart.” The pastor’s homily  will center on Luke 2: 7 and is entitled “Love Makes Room.

Our 10 p.m. service including Holy Communion will actually begin at 9:55 with our prelude  of special music by our director of music, Irina Shmeleva, and Robin Lilarose on the flute. Pastor Quentin concludes  his Christmas Eve sermon series using Luke 2:10-18 and has entitled it “Love Spreads the Word.”

Only the 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. services will be streamed on Facebook.


Pastor Quentin will be on vacation beginning Monday, Christmas Day and will be returning to  the office on Tuesday, Jan. 2. In case of someone needing pastoral care please contact the church office (610) 777-1422 or Jim Gehman, associate lay leader.

Next Sunday, Jan. 31, the Rev. Dr.  Tracy E. Brown, a retired state police trooper of 29 years and in the ministry for 33 years, will be our guest preacher. There is only one service at 11 a.m. on New Years Eve.  This time is different than most of our Sunday morning combined services.
