This Christmas Eve we will host two distinct services for you to participate in.

10:00 a.m. All-Ages Service

Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday this year, and we’re excited to join as a big church family to worship and sing together. This service will include participatory elements for all ages and feature big questions and some of your favourite Christmas hymns.

7:00 p.m. Evening Service with St. Peter’s Lutheran Church

We’re partnering with St. Peter’s to provide a beautiful service for reflection and big questions about the joy of this holy night – God has come down and moved into the neighbourhood once again.  How do we experience that joy in both the St. Andrew’s and St. Peter’s congregations? We are excited to bring our choirs and our congregations together for an evening of beautiful music and reflection through this holy night.

Sometimes Christmas is sad and difficult - especially if a loved one has died.  The 'Holly Jolly Christmas' may feel empty and meaningless and you may just want it to be OVER.  If you are feeling 'blue' about the season, please come to a special service on Wednesday, Dec. 28 at 7 pm here at St. Andrew's.  The purpose is not to cheer you up, but to give you an opportunity to sit with your true feelings and sense the depth of your sadness and loss.  Someone important in your life is not with you anymore.  That's important!  Come and worship the God who understands broken hearts and is ready to be with you in your sorrow. Tears will be welcome. Everyone experiencing grief is encouraged to come.

Join us for a traditional Christmas Eve service beginning with a Christmas concert at 7:30 featuring special music.  The service itself will begin at 8 pm and we will ask the question “How Does God show up at Christmas this year?

Lights, camera, action! Join Rev. Marty & Andrew at 4:00PM an interactive Christmas experience full of songs, echo pantomime readings and a spontaneous Christmas pageant.  It will be crazy. 
It will be fun.
It will tell the Christmas story.

We will begin by singing some of our favourite Christmas carols before the service. Come as you are and explore the miracle of Christmas through the eyes of your children.

P.s. we have glow stick candles for Silent Night.

St. Andrew’s invites you to a special service of music and readings telling the Christmas story through the eyes of its central characters. Which one do you identify with: Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the angels, the baby? Join us at 3 p.m., Sunday, December 18 and participate in the re-telling of this wonderful story. Sing favourite carols, hear glorious choral selections by our Sanctuary Choir and let yourself be carried away by the gentle sounds of the Handbell Choir. If you are not able to join us in-person, tune in on Christmas morning to the CTV broadcast. We look forward to seeing you on December 18 at 3 p.m.

To kick off the Christmas Season, we are having a Gingerbread Party! Families can spend time together at all the different activities and they can build a Gingerbread House together. There will be Gingerbread, Craft & Colouring stations along with a Hot Chocolate and Cookie Bar! We will also have a photobooth and a bounce house to burn off all that sugar!
