Register here or at the Welcome Center.

When: Sunday, December, 1:00 p.m. | Where: West Hickory Haven Nursing Center: 3310 W. Commerce Road, Milford

Christmas Eve Service

Have you noticed that every year at this time, we hear the same songs as we heard last year, and the year before that and the year before that… Seldom is there new Christmas music making its way into the repertoire.  And we’re ok with that (except after hearing "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” a few dozen times!).  The other constant at Christmas is the story itself.  No, not the one concerning the guy in the red suit. Rather, the one concerning the parents looking for a place to have a baby; a baby whose birth would be announced by angels, witnessed by shepherds, honored by visiting scholars, and feared by a paranoid King.

On Wednesday, December 24, we are gathering at 6:30 p.m. to retell the story. We’ll sing many of the beloved Christmas hymns and carols by the soft light of candles, by guitar, and by the readings of scripture. It’s a wonderful time to gather as the People of God to celebrate Emmanuel, the God who is with us! This is a family-friendly gathering (no nursery).

We will also be taking an offering to replenish the 2026 Mercy & Benevolence fund (helping those within and outside of GCC). Ways to donate:

1) At the Christmas Eve service 2) On any Sunday (mark check / envelope as ‘Helping Others’) 3) Click here and select ‘Give to: Helping Others

With the use of books, video series, and Bible studies, this group of men are applying prayer and feedback to grow their personal discipleship. Contact Brent Charles (248.761.4817/ bcharle10@hotmail.com) as needed.
