Christmas Blessings from Cantor Kurt Schmidt, the Congregation Council — Robin Larson, Gail Schmidt, Ellen Mears, and Scott McElroy — and the administrators and staff of Evergreen Academy

As a preparation for family dinner, or following a celebration with family and friends, join us for a Zion tradition, our candlelight Christmas Eve service. This is the perfect occasion to introduce someone to Zion, and everyone is welcome! We will have special music, including the return of our bell ringers, a message by Pastor Dave Dangerfield, and lots of singing and praise around the manger.

Due to the increase in COVID-variant positive cases, we will be requiring masks and physical distancing by family unit of everyone in attendance, regardless of vaccination status. We hope you'll understand the importance of these simple measures to maintain the health and safety of our community.

Thank you to all those in our Evergreen and Zion community for making this year's holiday service project a success. Whatever you called it, know that you were helping those in the most need this season.

Good news! You can still give toward the success of this project until the end of the year. You may donate via our online giving website (choose "Reverse Advent Calendar" as the fund) and we will shop for you! Thank you so much for your generosity this season!

Come as you are for this first annual, low-key, high-praise Casual Christmas worship. Wear your favorite Christmas pajamas (appropriate, please), bring your coffee or hot chocolate, and come ready to sing Christmas carols (as found in our hymnal) led by our Cantor Kurt Schmidt.

As we gather to begin the new year, you are invited to bring all of your measurements of time to church for a blessing:

We will celebrate the gift of a new year and consider how God is calling us to spend our time wisely in 2022.
