Church’s Eventos
Come and join us on Christmas Eve for our Candlelight service, as we remember a night in WWII, when no lights could be lit and when our Church laid out on the front steps their candles, “lighting up the world”. This is a night in which we each remember that we let our lights shine – that Jesus came to earth so that each of us would be “the light of the earth”.Each Christmas Eve, we spend a moment remembering that star that shone so bright and lead the way for the wise men, and we light our candles to show the way for each of us to follow.
Each Christmas Eve, we joyously sing Carols together, and enjoy the presentations from Hijos del Rey, as they present their acapela harmonies and soloists who lovingly come to present to the King their songs of praise.
Come and join us!

Pastoral Prayer
Blessed God,
who caused all holy scripture to be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them,
that we may embrace and ever hold fast
the blessed hope of everlasting life.
Signs of heaven, sighs of hope.
Let us pray.
Fill us O God, with Your words and wisdom.
Blessed God,
we ask your care for those who are victims of wars and insurrections,
may they not be terrified;
for Nations rising against nations,
let Your love, steadfast and faithful,
be a great sign from heaven,
may Your peace bend our will to your will,
like trees in a strong wind.
Signs of heaven, sighs of hope.
Let us pray.
Fill us O God, with Your words and wisdom.
Blessed God,
grant your healing grace to the victims of great earthquakes,
famines and plagues;
let Your love, steadfast and faithful,
be a great sign from heaven,
may Your peace bend our will to your will,
like trees in a strong wind.
Signs of heaven, sighs of hope.
Let us pray.
Fill us O God, with Your words and wisdom.
Blessed God,
when we are weary, help us to do what is right.
Do not let us be led astray,
help us to come, in Your name, praising Your goodness.
Let Your love, steadfast and faithful,
be a great sign from heaven,
may Your peace bend our will to your will,
like trees in a strong wind.
Signs of heaven, sighs of hope.
Let us pray.
Fill us O God, with Your words and wisdom.
Blessed God,
we thank you for all the blessings of this life.
For the gift of life.
For the gift of Christ,
for the gift of the Holy Spirit,
for your tender mercy.
For Your saving love.
Let Your love, steadfast and faithful,
be a great sign from heaven,
may Your peace bend our will to your will,
like trees in a strong wind.
Signs of heaven, sighs of hope.
Amen.

Your Church Is a Lampstand
The Church Is a Lampstand Because It Lights the Way to God
The world is not impressed by the church. There are times when we are not impressed by the church. The church can look weak and ineffective and completely without relevance in the world. And yet, God says the church is like sacred, golden lampstands carrying the perpetual fire of God’s presence with His people through His Spirit. We need to be reminded of this reality.
