Traditional Noon Service

12:00 pm | Sanctuary | Rev. Casey Orr

Enjoy our full traditional Christmas Eve service mid-day to avoid the evening crowds and start your Christmas celebration early in First Church style, with message, carols, and special music, including the memorable voice of one of our favorite baritones, Christian Teague, singing The Wexford Carol.

Christmas Eve Service for Families

5:00 pm | Sanctuary
Dr. Tim Bruster & Mister Mark Burrows

Come join this lively service filled with Christmas carols, communion, candlelight, the wondrous story of Jesus’ birth, and our kid-favorite Christmas Eve puppet show. To add to this already fun-packed and meaningful Christmas Eve family experience, our own “Ms. Sara” Davis will perform a piano/organ duet with Peggy Graff, FUMCFW Organist!
