Doors open at 4:10, so you can arrive with enough time to get your family picture taken (or you can also do that afterwards).

Our band will lead us in singing/enjoying some Christmasy music. Then Jon will share a short message about Christmas and do communion for those that want to celebrate. We’ll also do a raffle upfront and have some stellar prizes. The whole thing will last about 45 minutes.

If you want to keep your kids with you for that part you are more than welcome! But, kids ages 0 to grade 3 also have special environments designed just for them if you’re interested.

Afterwards, you have the option to enjoy our “treats buffet,” coffee and photobooth (if you didn’t get that done before). All of this is free, and digital downloads are made available after the event!

You can dress however you feel comfortable! Some families take advantage of our pro photographer and dress nicely. Others wear their usual garb… and are perfectly fine with that. Jeans, Christmas sweaters, tshirts, dresses… it’s really quite a range. Mostly, we want you to feel comfortable. You’ll fit right in dressed up or dressed regularly.

There will be a delightful mixture of savory appetizers and some cookies. There will also be gluten and nut free options. We probably have you covered. If not, let us know ahead of time using the contact form.

We actually rent our space from the very kind Gateway Foursquare at 4:30pm on 2nd and 4th Sundays (usually). There’s ample parking, but come early to get your Christmas picture taken and a cup of coffee (both optional of course).
