Celebrate the birth of our Savior at one of our Christmas Eve services! Our 1 o'clock family service lasts about 45 minutes and is especially for families for young children. Your little ones will love this interactive service led by Pastor Chris! The 4 o'clock traditional service is our most well-attended; we sing traditional hymns and there are performances by the choir and handbells. The late night 11 o'clock candlelight service is the only one held in the sanctuary; the format is very traditional and communion is given.

Note that there will also be a Christmas Day service on Saturday morning at 9:30 AM, but there will NO 5:30 PM Saturday NIGHT or Sunday Morning services on December 25th and 26th.
Outdoor Nativity Scene Takedown
Sun Dec 12, 11:30 AM
Unfortunately, we were not able to get enough volunteers to re-schedule our Drive Through Christmas Nativity after the rainout last weekend. We will be taking down the outdoor nativity scenes this Sunday after the 10:30 service. Any help would be appreciated! Just show up and let Kari Larsen know you're here to help.
Men age 70 or older gather on the third Thursday of every month for lunch and fellowship. They meet in a reserved room at Pal Joey’s Restaurant [2030 Main St, Batavia]. Lunch may be ordered off the menu and each person is responsible for his own lunch. Questions? Contact Roy Lorenz at 630.406.8806.
