It’s the most wonderful time of the year! FAC Kids and the Intergenerational Ministry invite you to celebrate with us at the Classic Christmas Celebration.

Come ready to carol, hear stories and songs from members of our church family, and spend time reminding ourselves why Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Like last year, some of our kids will form the cutest choir you ever did see! Afterwards we will enjoy refreshments in the Atrium.

The Classic Christmas Celebration is an informal, family-focused, joy-filled night. Everyone, young, old, and those somewhere in between will find themselves joining in the wonder of the Christmas season.

Nursery services for ages 2 and under will be available.
