We kick off the Advent season during our most musical Sunday of the year. Sing the story of Christmas and hear anthems and solos as we turn our minds to the meaning of the season. We will have two worship services, both in the sanctuary, one at 9 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. Between the services, from 10:15-11, gather in Showker Hall for Christmas cookies and conversation.

The annual live nativity in our Courtyard on Court Square features animals and characters of the Christmas story. The live nativity happens right before downtown Harrisonburg’s Christmas parade, so stop by for hot chocolate, cookies and a great photo opportunity right in the heart of our city.
