"Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace."

These words from the beloved Christmas carol, O Holy Night, remind us of the deep interweaving of holiness and wholeness. As we enter this Advent season, our world needs this holy night—and the love, peace, and wholeness it brings us—as much now as ever before. In addition to our usual worship services throughout this month, we hope you will join us for our Advent and Christmas worship services, as we gather in our lovely Victorian sanctuary, sing carols, and hear the Christmas story told afresh. Invite your friends and family and let us prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus Christ, whose law is love and whose gospel is peace:

12/2: 4:00 p.m. Hanging of the Greens Worship Service, Dinner After

A traditional service in which we hear the Christmas story anew through the symbols, scriptures, and songs of the season. Please note: this service will be held on Saturday evening this year.

12/16: 4:00 p.m. Blue Christmas Worship Service

A service for all for whom the holiday season is difficult, because of grief, mental health struggles, or simply the shortening of the days. It is a quieter, more solemn observance of this holy time.

12/17: 4:00 p.m. Christmas Caroling

Bring some Christmas cheer to BACC members who aren't able to make it to services regularly.

12/24: 10:00 a.m. Christmas Pageant

Our children and youth help us tell the Christmas story. Please note: this single, combined 10:00 a.m. service takes the place of our usual 8:45 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services on this Sunday.

Christmas Eve: 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Christmas Eve Worship Services

Both services will be in-person, with the 5:00 p.m. also streamed via Zoom. Share the bread of life and the cup of salvation as we celebrate God's greatest gift.

12/25: Christmas Day

Merry Christmas! May God's love and Christ's gospel of peace surround you and warm your spirit on this holy day.

Grace + Peace,

David
