Church of the Resurrection

Do you enjoy Christmas shopping for friends and fam- ily while wandering through a global village of Christmas trees and yuletide cheer? It sounds too good to be true, but on December 18 Christmas Village returns to Res- urrection! You will have the great opportunity to buy a gift that can change the lives of the people our overseas missionaries minister to daily. Then give Christmas Village gift tags to your family and friends so they can see the amazing impact of the gift that you bought in their honor.

Travel the world by visiting the “shops” from many different nations where our missionaries serve to purchase medical supplies, schoolbooks, firewood, or a goat for someone in need around the world. China, Nigeria, Afghanistan—it’s like the Epcot of missions! And while you’re embracing the joy of giving, enjoy a cup of wassail, pet a small ani- mal, listen to jubilant musicians, and wonder through our Christmas tree forest!

The perfect way to prepare for Christmas, this year Resurrection is celebrating a Christmas Pageant that combines music and drama to tell the story of a newborn King. In traditional medieval pageant style, our evening will travel The Road to Bethlehem through choral and orchestral music and dramatic readings, culminating in a grand procession you do not want to miss! An event for the whole family, it includes nursery childcare, and a Christmas program for the children during part of the Pageant. At the end of the Pageant, children will have the opportunity to dress up as their favorite Nativity charac- ters like sheep, shepherds, angels, and animals to join in this very special Pageant Procession!

Bring your friends and family for this joyful celebration and special night of creativity, art, and worship!
