Celebrate Christmas Eve at Christ Lutheran Church in Mustang with a candlelight Divine Service with Holy Communion at 10 p.m. on Thursday, December 24.

Rooted in the ancient church, the service follows the historic liturgy. Readings include the promise of a child born to us from Isaiah 9, the Nativity story from Luke 2 and the opening of John 1, “The Word became flesh.” The congregation will sing favorite Christmas hymns such as “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Joy to the World” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The service ends with “Silent Night” by candlelight.

The center of the service is the Sacrament of the Altar, in which, as Lutherans confess, Jesus gives His true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.

All are welcome to attend. To learn about Christ Lutheran’s practice of Holy Communion, visit What We Believe or speak with Pastor Ross before the service. Parking is on the east and south sides of the building.
