SPECIAL SERVICES AT SAN MARINO COMMUNITY CHURCH

2010 Christmas Eve Worship Services

5:00 pm: Family Service,
8:00 pm: Carols and Communion
11:00 pm: Choirs and Candles

Celebrate the birth of the Christ Child in any or all of SMCC’s unique services. The first service tells the nativity story as the children of the church take on the roles of angels, magi, shepherds, Joseph and Mary. The forty-minute service begins at 5:00 pm and is most suitable for families with young children. The second service begins at 8:00 pm and tells the Christmas story through Scripture and song, a message from the pastor, and concludes with the lighting of candles in the congregation. The third service begins at 11:00 pm and is a traditional Candlelight Service including special music by the Chancel Choir, a message by the pastor, and the closing liturgy of candles lit by the congregation. This service is preceded at 10:30 pm with special music from the choir, soloists, and instrumentalists.
 

 

San Marino Community Church is at it’s best in worship for major celebrations of the faith! Rev. O’Grady will preach, the choirs will sing with brass instrumentalists and organ accompaniment, and a special children’s Sunday school program will be held at both (identical) worship services.
