Preparing for the Holiday Season: Events at Grace Unity Church

Embracing the Spirit of the Season

As the holiday season approaches, Grace Unity Church is buzzing with excitement and preparation. This joyous time of year offers an opportunity to come together as a community, celebrate our faith, and share the spirit of giving and gratitude. With a lineup of events and activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Advent Celebrations

The Advent season is a time of anticipation and reflection. At Grace Unity Church, we kick off the holiday season with special Advent services every Sunday leading up to Christmas. These services include a candle-lighting ceremony and uplifting hymns that remind us of the hope and joy brought by the birth of Christ. Join us as we prepare our hearts and minds for this sacred time.

Christmas Choir Concert

Nothing captures the essence of Christmas quite like music. Our annual Christmas Choir Concert is a highlight of the season. The church choir, joined by local musicians, will fill the air with beautiful melodies and traditional carols. This concert is open to all, offering a perfect opportunity to invite friends and family to experience the magic of Christmas through song.

Community Outreach and Giving

In the true spirit of Christmas, Grace Unity Church organizes several outreach programs aimed at helping those in need. We invite you to participate in our Holiday Food Drive, where non-perishable items are collected for local food banks. Additionally, our Angel Tree Program provides gifts for children who might not otherwise receive any. Your generosity can make a significant difference in someone's life this season.

Family-Friendly Activities

The holiday season at Grace Unity Church is filled with fun activities for the whole family. From craft workshops where children can create their own ornaments, to storytime sessions featuring classic Christmas tales, there’s plenty to keep kids entertained and engaged. These activities not only bring joy but also foster creativity and community spirit.

Candlelight Christmas Eve Service

The Candlelight Christmas Eve Service is a cherished tradition at Grace Unity Church. This serene and moving service includes scripture readings, carols, and the symbolic lighting of candles to signify the light of Christ entering the world. It’s a moment of peace amid the holiday hustle and bustle, offering a chance to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
