As the days grow darker, our thoughts turn to the seasons of Advent and Christmas. Advent is the season of repentance and reflection that occurs during the four weeks leading up to the celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas. In the Lutheran Church we do not rush to Christmas. Advent is an important time to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Babe of Bethlehem and to ponder Christ's return at the end of time. We invite you to join us for our midweek Advent series on Wednesday evenings in December.
Christmas Worship Services
We will have two very special worship services to commemorate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On December 24 our traditional Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will begin at 6:30 pm. We will sing all those wonderful old (and some new) Christmas carols, hear once again the Good News of Great Joy and finish the evening by singing Silent Night by candlelight. On December 25 we will begin at 10:00 am with a Christmas Carol Communion Service - more of those lovely carols along with the blessing of the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
We are currently unable to offer services in Hope. Please join us for online worship from St. Paul's, Chilliwack. Services begin at 10:00 am and remain on the website for one week. Watch the service now. For more information contact our local representative Linda Vandermeulen at 604-869-2073 or our church office at 604-792-9577.
