All are welcome for Christmas worship, whether it is your first or 1,000th time here. For 250 years, people have come to Christ Church to be nourished and encouraged on their spiritual journey—people of all walks of life, occupation, and age, from your neighbor across the street to archbishops and civil rights leaders, presidents and first ladies. Today, Christ Church is an active, vibrant parish with ministries that strive to inspire the soul, educate, and form spiritual seekers, deepen the bonds of friendship, and meet the needs of a hurting world. We hope you will explore some of the many ways to get involved and come again to share the joy at Christ Church! 

Christmas Eve | December 24

2:00 p.m. — A Simple Service for Christmas Eve 

Holy Eucharist Rite II, with Christmas hymns and homily 

We will sing selected verses of our favorite Christmas hymns and share the Bread of Life together. This service will have limited seating and will be shorter than our other services in order to provide a worship environment for those who are more COVID cautious. Additionally, this service will begin and end in daylight for those who prefer to walk or drive in the daytime. 

4:00 p.m. — Christmas Eve Eucharist for Families and Friends 

Holy Eucharist Rite II, with Christmas hymns and a sermon by the Director of Children’s Ministries

6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. — The Feast of the Nativity | Livestream at 6:00 p.m. 

Holy Eucharist Rite II, with the Christ Church Choir and sermon
