Christmas Eve Worship
Tuesday, Dec 24, 5 pm
At this early evening service of worship, Centralites come together with friends and family to celebrate and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. There will be moving and poignant moments as well as fun, upbeat elements as we take you through the wonder of the Jesus’ birth – through scripture readings accompanied by joyous, familiar Christmas carols.
Carol Service / Silver Tea
Sunday, Dec. 22, 4 pm
There isn’t a better way to start Christmas week than at Central’s inspiring and music-filled Carol Service, an East Side tradition and highlight of the Christmas season. You will hear the story of Jesus’ birth unfold in scripture and song, sung by the Central Congregational Church Choir and Children’s Choir – accompanied by harp, cello, and organ. Afterwards, please stay for our elegant Silver Tea in the festively decorated Chapel Hall.
Christmas Cookie Swap
Tuesday, Dec. 16, 6 pm
If you haven’t enjoyed Central’s annual Cookie Swap, you’re missing one of our great holiday events. It’s a short, fun, music-filled evening – plus you’ll take home a platter full of delectable treats. Your family and friends will be thrilled! Bring six dozen of your favorite cookies (no bar cookies, please), and don’t forget a platter or container for transport home! Questions? Call Claudia. And join us in the Fireplace Room
Cookies and a Movie
Sunday, Dec. 15, 4 pm
The holidays are extremely busy for most everyone. But no one more so than parents! This year, Central can help. We’re hosting a Cookie-Decorating and Christmas-Movie-Watching Party in Chapel Hall. Not for parents … for the kids! Just drop them off. Friends are welcome, too. We’ll have a merry old time while parents deal with some of those last-minute holiday arrangements!
Christmas Pageant
Sunday, Dec. 15, 10:30 am
The Church School Christmas Pageant is upon us, and we are hoping every Central child and teen will participate in this holiday tradition, telling of Jesus’ humble birth in the manger. The dress rehearsal is Saturday, Dec. 14, at 11 am, in Chapel Hall. And all players should meet in the Sanctuary on Sunday at 9:15 am prior to the performance. Questions? Contact Susannah
Volunteer Christmas Party
