Advent & Christmas at St. Mark's


Christmas Eve Service


Available on the St. Mark's YouTube channel

“The Good News We Need” 


We invite you to join with the St. Mark’s community for a very beautiful Christmas Eve worship experience.


The evening opens with a "Concert of Joy":

  • The First Noel - Genuine Brass
  • I Saw Three Ships - piano duet: Merry Cary and Laura Chen
  • Hark the Herald Angels Sing - string trio: Kurt Muth, Kimberly Lafranzo, Andrea Lafranzo
  • Twas in the Moon of Wintertime - handbell quartet: Matt Greising, Sue Hilderbrand, Dotty Johnson, Jon Miller
  • Come Lord Jesus Come - St. Mark's Festival Choir, Melk Abbey, Austria  

The service includes carol singing, a special children's message, Holy Communion, and our traditional singing of "Silent Night" by candlelight in a joyous ending.  


Here’s what you’ll need for the full experience:

  • The Order of Worship (download here)
  • Bread or crackers, plus wine or juice, if you’d like to participate in Communion from home
  • Candles for the singing of “Silent Night”

Come, renew your spirits and experience hope as we celebrate the God's gift of love, Emmanuel, God with Us!
