A WHITEWATER CROSSING CHRISTMAS

CELEBRATE

KING

JESUS!

Christmas Celebration

We're going to party this Christmas season because we have something worth celebrating: Hope in King Jesus!

And we're doing it in fine (ish) style this year, because it's just downright proper to have some fun at Whitewater!

SUNDAY

DEC 3 // 9&11AM

Dust off those Santa hats and elf ears as we kick off our Celebration of King Jesus! Seriously! We want you to wear your most festive, silly items and come ready to start the festive season worshiping and celebrating in true party style.

MORNING

DEC 10 // 9&11AM

It's a Pajama Party - at church! The snuggliest part of any Christmas morning is cozying up in those winter jammies. Does this mean grown-ups should seriously show up to church in their cozy jams? Yes!! For real! Kids and grown-ups alike - come in your sleepiest, most snuggly attire or suit up in something comfy for morning worship!

WORSHIP

DEC 17 // 9&11AM

Remember that ugly sweater you bought for that one party last year? Time to dig it out!! Or do you actually just love Christmas sweaters (like we do!)? Represent boldly! We're literally having a Best Sweater Competition at both services! Deck the halls (or, in this case, the people) in a woolen wonderland!

CHRISTMAS EVE WORSHIP

SAT DEC 23 @ 6PM

SUN DEC 24 @ 9&11AM 
No Student Service or Harbortown KIDS 
(Nursery care available @ 11AM only)

We've brought the party this season (and for good reason). Now, we turn our hearts to the elegance and beauty of a not-so-Silent Night. Filled with the sounds and songs of Hope, we look again to the Christ Child, Jesus - born to us in such a humble, unexpected way - and together we call him King.

WHAT TO WEAR IN DECEMBER

What makes you feel most comfortable and relaxed? Buffalo plaid with your favorite slippers? Fluff and sparkles? Your best suit, tie, or dress? Your Christmas sweats? Wear that! Honestly!

CHRISTMAS EVE GENEROSITY

Our purpose is to worship Jesus in a way that changes the world. So, Whitewater is never going to stop giving away Hope to our community. We are counting on your generosity this Christmas season so that we can give 100% of our Christmas Eve Offering away in support of our network partners, including the Life Center. Because we exist to Help people find Hope and a Home in Jesus.

INVITE YOUR PEOPLE

Is your Hope worth sharing? Who is that person or family in your circles that needs some support? Some Hope? Is a different spin on Christmas (see: Sweater Competitions, Pajamas at Church, etc) an easy opportunity to bring a friend?

Christmas_Bash.pngHey you. Do you like cookies? Yeah. We do, too. And we'll bet your neighbors enjoy a cookie or two. And who doesn't appreciate a well-built Gingerbread House? 

Don't miss the ALL-CHURCH HOLLY-JOLLY COOKIE-&-GINGERBREAD-HOUSE DECORATING FESTIVUS-FOR-THE-REST-OF-US CHRISTMAS BASH on Sun Dec 17 @ 5:30-6:30PM in The Landing.

We'll provide all the makings. You provide the creative touch! We're just so excited to get together as a church family!

Want to serve in the kitchen and help us make the cookies? TAP HERE!

At 6:30PM, our Whitewater Youth (6-12th grades) and Whitewater Kids (ages 0 through 5th grade) will transition to their One Night and Family Jingle Jam (READ BELOW!), and The Landing will remain open for any and all to keep hanging out! You're also invited to come enjoy Family Jingle Jam in the Worship Center, no matter your age!
