Our in-person candlelight Christmas Eve services will be at 3:00 PM (masks required; hymns led by organ) and at 5:00 PM & 7:00 PM (masks optional; music led by choir, brass, and organ). The 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM services will also be livestreamed at parkstreet.org/live. 

On SUN, DEC 26, we will be worshipping together at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM only. We will not be gathering for the 8:30 AM worship service. The 11:00 AM service will follow its usual masking guidelines. Masking, however, will be mandatory at the 4:00 PM service on this week. 

With under two weeks left in December we have need for December giving to be substantially greater than it has been. The chart below indicates that Ministry & Operations (“M&O”) giving needed to make budget for the year is $370,000 over the next twelve days, and the Missions giving needed to make budget for the year is greater, at $420,000, even though the Missions budget is smaller than M&O. When making a gift to Missions, please remember you must designate it as such.

May the Lord bless each of us to contribute sacrificially as we are able, and together may he enable us to meet or exceed our two budget goals at yearend, remembering that, “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
