‘Tis The Season!
As we near the end of December and prepare to welcome a brand-new year, we find ourselves in one of the most joyful seasons of ministry. The air is filled with celebration, gratitude, and anticipation—moments to honor the reason for the season: Christ’s birth and to share His love, and embrace the hope of what’s ahead. From candlelit Christmas worship services to the excitement of New Year gatherings, this season is overflowing with opportunities to shine His light brightly. Here are some key events and opportunities to keep on your radar as we continue through December with joy and step into January with renewed energy and faith.
We want to pause and express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your faithfulness, energy, and compassion make a lasting impact—not only within our church family but also in the lives of those we reach. Thank you for continually showing Christ’s love through your service.
Here are some key events and opportunities to keep on your radar as we move to the end of December:
On Sunday, December 21, we'll be offering Communion during both services. Come rejoice, reflect, and share in the joy of Christ’s gift as we close out December and step into the new year with hearts full of hope. Transit will also be celebrating Christmas during 9:15 & 11:15 Services. Your middle schoolers can dress up in festive pj’s and bring a friend to enjoy the service!
Christmas is almost here! Join us at Gwinnett Church on Wednesday, December 24 for a joyful Christmas Eve celebration. We’ll be hosting three services at 1:00, 3:00, and 5:00 p.m. as we gather to worship and honor the birth of Jesus. Let’s come together in faith, joy, and community on this special day!
Moving into the beginning of January, we will be having our annual New Year’s Prayer Walk. You’re invited to join us outside Gwinnett Church on New Year's Day for a self-guided prayer walk as we pray for our families, our community, and more.
