Come and experience the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child at our Crib Service—a joyful, interactive retelling of the Nativity story, perfect for families and young children. With carols, costumes, and candlelight, this heartwarming service invites everyone to gather around the manger and celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Children are welcome to come dressed as angels, shepherds, or wise men—and take part in the story! Whether it’s your first time or a cherished tradition, this gentle and festive service is a beautiful way to begin your Christmas celebrations.

Let’s make room at the inn—and in our hearts—for the true meaning of Christmas.
