Join us as we bring together the characters of the nativity scene and sing the music of Christmas. This service is child and adult friendly! We are OPEN.

You can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website. All those attending in person (ages 5 and up) are required to wear masks unless exempt for health reasons. 

Before the service you are invited to take a nativity scene figurine and then bring it forward when invited. The offering collected at the end of the service will be put towards flood recovery efforts in Princeton.
