Christmas Eve at Little Hills

By Timothy R. Butler | Dec 02, 2024 at 1:15 PM

Join us on December 24 at 7 pm on Christmas Eve as Little Hills — a special moment to prepare our hearts for Christmas Day. During the service we will share in the culmination of our journey through the Four Gospels telling of the Savior’s arrival. We will share in readings from God’s Word, singing Christmas carols and enjoy a candlelight service to celebrate that our Savior is born!

Blue Christmas

By Timothy R. Butler | Dec 02, 2024 at 1:13 PM

As we approach the Christmas season, we often feel weighed down by losses, hurts and disappointments that seem to conflict with all the celebrations around us. Blue Christmas is meant to help us bring these things before our God, who understands. Christmas, after all, is about Him coming into the world to restore the things that are broken — including us.

This service will be both in-person and live streamed at 7 pm on December 13. Please join us in-person if you can; if you cannot, you can find the service on your favorite streaming service below. For those watching online, consider having a candle available to light at a time you will be prompted to do so later in the service.
