Faith United Methodist Church of Grain Valley

"Candlelight, Carols, and Communion" will be our Christmas Eve theme again this year as we offer three Christmas Eve services at 6:00, 8:00 and 11:00 PM on December 24.

Last year more than 360 folks worshipped with us in these special services. We will again give all in attendance an opportunity to light a candle of remembrance for a loved one. We will have special music and our offering on Christmas Eve will again be used to serve the poorest among us, a fitting response for one born in a manger.

Our Christmas Eve Services are designed to call you out of the hub-bub of the commercialism of the season and give you a time to reflect again on God’s great love for you.

Please plan to come and celebrate again the wonderful mystery of God’s perfect Christmas gift.

If you don’t have plans with your family for Christmas Day, we would love for you to join our family at Faith for dinner.

We are having our 2nd Annual Faith Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day at 1:00pm to celebrate the gift of Jesus Christ.

“Tickets” are available on the information table in the back of the sanctuary. We welcome you to invite others that would like to gather together for some mouth-watering turkey, ham and all the holiday fixings.

Kindly RSVP to the chuch office so we can set a place setting for you.

For each of the last 3 years, several of the Faithful have gathered at the church to await the coming of the New Year. While we are waiting we enjoy the plethora of refreshments that have been brought pot luck style, we engage in games, laughter and fellowship.

As the midnight hour approaches; we partake in Holy Communion and join in a watch night service that was first prepared by John Wesley. We will continue this practice this year and would invite you to come and share in the evening with us.

We will gather at 7:00 PM or whenever you arrive. Bring the kids….it is a family event as we give thanks for all that God has done and all that he has yet promised to do.
