Advent & Christmas Worship

Christmas is a time to celebrate God’s greatest gift to the world—our Savior, Jesus Christ! Whether you’re looking for a quiet moment of reflection during Advent, a meaningful Christmas worship service, or an opportunity to celebrate with your family, you’re invited to join us at Good Shepherd.

We have a variety of special worship services and Christmas celebrations planned throughout December, and we’d love to welcome you!

Midweek Advent Worship: The Perfect Present

The weeks leading up to Christmas can be busy, but Advent invites us to slow down and focus our hearts on the wonderful gift God has given us in Jesus.

Join us for our midweek Advent worship series, “The Perfect Present,” as we explore three beautiful truths about our Savior:

• December 2 — Arrives as Promised
• December 9 — Expensive and Priceless
• December 16 — Brings True Peace

Wednesdays at 10:00 AM and 6:30 PM

Each service lasts approximately 45 minutes. All are welcome!

Advent Dinners

Before each Wednesday evening Advent service, you’re invited to enjoy a meal and Christian fellowship in our Fellowship Hall.

December 2, 9 & 16 | 5:15–6:15 PM

A freewill offering will be collected to help cover meal expenses. Congregation members are also invited to bring a dessert to share or volunteer with setup, serving, and cleanup. Volunteer signups are available in the Welcome Center.
