Christmas is hard.

It's hard for the person carrying loss, loneliness, or questions that don't have easy answers.

It's hard for the couple trying to hold it together, and for the parent praying a child comes home.

It's hard for the person smiling on the outside, but breaking on the inside.

It's hard for the skeptic who wonders if any of this is real.

It's hard for the single parent doing their best to make the season feel magical.

It's hard for the one missing someone who should still be here.

It's hard for the person who feels surrounded by joy but can’t seem to find their own.

Christmas is hard —because behind all the lights, gifts, and laughter, so many hearts are hurting.

But that’s exactly where the story of Christmas begins.

A weary world.

A silent night.

A Savior who meets us in the mess and brings light into the dark.

Because you don’t have to have it all together.

You don’t have to fake a smile or fit a mold.

You’re invited—just as you are—to rediscover the wonder of Christmas, and the hope of a God who came near.

One hour.

Real people.

No judgement.

Come as you are.

You'll leave reminded of The Gift You Didn't Ask for, but so desperately need.

Join us this Christmas Eve.
