What’s your favorite part of Christmas - the music, the food, the gifts, time with friends and family? While these things are meaningful, Christmas is ultimately a celebration of God’s work through the birth of Jesus. Join us in December for Christmas carols, coffee and snacks in the lobby, and weekly reminders that Jesus is our ultimate hope and joy. Services are at 9 and 10:30 AM or you can always join our livestream on YouTube if you can’t be with us in person.
Tuesday, December 24, at 5 and 7 PM
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the long-awaited hope of the world. We look forward to remembering the joy of Christmas and reflecting on what Jesus’ birth means to us today. Join us for one of our Christmas Eve services. Our children’s choir will perform at the 5 PM service only.
Starting November 24, our sermon series, When God Draws Near will use the book of Psalms to guide us through the Christmas season. As we reflect on the Psalms, they will deepen our sense of hope, gratitude, and worship as we celebrate the gift of Christ at Christmas. The name of Jesus reminds us that he is Immanuel, God with us. As you read the Psalms each week, let your heart ponder the reality of his presence.
Pick up an interactive window pane in the lobby to guide you through each week of the series. Use this resource individually, as a small group, or as a family to encourage you to ponder and apply the truths shared each Sunday.

Christmas often brings a general sense of warmth, kindness, and joy around the holidays. We remember traditions, family experiences, gifts we received, favorite movies, and cookies, but underneath it is a historical echo of the thrill of hope of the incarnation of Christ. God has not left us alone, and Christmas reminds us of this truth through a poor little boy born in a manger.
This Christmas, discover joy through the music of some of your favorite carols. Hershey Free is hosting Christmas in the Park, a community event with performances from local bands and choirs, food trucks to purchase goodies, carnival games for children, and a guided luminary-lined carol walkthrough on a .3-mile paved path. We hope you'll join us on December 13 from 6 to 8 PM at Patriot Park in Hummelstown. Get directions.
This is a community event that helps us live out our one-year milestone to Connect Well - Live Well. We encourage you to be involved in this special night and sign up to volunteer!
