Our Advent journey ends this weekend with our arrival at the manger, where we behold the Word made flesh.
We hope you will join us—whether online or in person—as we gather around the telling of the birth of Emmanuel, God with us, and sing again the joyous songs of Christmas!

About Our Christmas Weekend Services
On Christmas Eve, all entry to the Sanctuary for worship will be through the glass Loggia doors on Michigan Avenue.
Seating will begin at 3:15 p.m. for the 4:00 Pageant; seating for the 6:00, 8:00, and 10:00 services will begin a half hour prior to the start of the service.
There will not be any socially distanced seating on Christmas Eve; the regular Sunday morning socially distanced section will be available on Christmas morning. Masks are always welcome!
Discounted parking on Christmas Eve is available only at the 900 N. Michigan garage. Those who enter the garage on Christmas Eve prior to 5:00 p.m. will need to purchase a parking validation ticket at the church that day for $20. Those who enter the garage after 5:00 p.m. will be able to park for $8 with a validation ticket that can be picked up for free that day before or after the services.
On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day there will not be nursery care. On those days, as on every Sunday, children are invited to be with their parents in worship.
Livestreamed worship (8:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve and 10:00 a.m. on Christmas Day) is accessible by going to www.bit.ly/fpcvideos, subscribing to our YouTube channel, or clicking on the photo with a “Play” arrow on the home page of the Fourth Church website.
For those who do not have Internet access, our livestreamed services are available to listen to via the phone. If you know of someone for whom this audio opportunity would be welcome, please encourage them to call 888.916.9166 (toll-free) at the time of the service.
If the livestreamed worship times do not fit with your schedule, the services will also be available to watch via our YouTube channel at any time afterwards.
