Christmas services at Faith

Hello friends of Faith,

We approach a most holy time in the life of Christians worldwide: the Nativity of our Lord. And there are opportunities of worship this season at Faith online:

  1. Christmas Eve at 7pm. Please pay extra attention to your email inbox in the next couple of days for the link to our Zoom room. On Thursday, December 24 at 7pm you are invited to join us for Christmas Eve prayers, readings and carols. If you aren’t on the congregational email list, please let me know (prmartinmalina@gmail.com) and I will email you the link to the Zoom room. The service order is available here to follow online or download.
  2. Christmas Day. Any time as of December 25 visit the Online Services page to watch our pre-recorded Christmas service featuring the Confirmation class proclaiming the Gospel, the virtual choir singing a few carols and the Christmas decorations slide show to Silent Night, Holy Night.
  3. Sunday ‘live’ Communion services at 10am. If you would like to join the weekly group for Communion in your home via Zoom, please let me know (prmartinmalina@gmail.com) and I will add you to the list to receive the email link.

I look forward to making these connections this Christmas season to celebrate the birth of Jesus and rejoice in the gift of grace to us all.
Peace and Joy,
Pastor Martin
