Children’s Christ Mass

December 24, 4 p.m.


Are there children in your lives?

In your neighborhoods?

The Children’s Christ Mass is the perfect opportunity to invite them to Messiah!

Yes, we all know that some worship services are “child friendly” – that is, there is an expectation that babies will cry or children climb on the backs of pews and run up and down the aisles, and worship-as-usual will proceed inandroundsuchgoings-on.... However,ourChildren’s Christ Mass is a qualitatively different kind of children’s service. This Christ Mass is especially designed to speak to children “in their own language” and to draw them into the service as participants. Little kids (and their “big kid parents” as well!) are given costume head pieces and bells as they enter the church, and, as the Christmas story is told, everyone finds him or herself included, until we are all ringing our bells and worshiping, head pieces askew, around the manger! It’s a delightful experience for old and young alike!

Do you ever get nostalgic for the days when you were a kid, wearing that bathrobe in your church Christmas pageant? How long has it been? (You don’t have to answer!) Now’s your chance to relive those days! Be a part of our “Living Nativity” at the Children’s Christ Mass on Christmas Eve! Invite your family, friends, and neighbors! Make it a tradition! It’s a warm and intimate way to “get inside the story” and greet our Savior’s birth this Christmas Eve!
