Christmas 2022

Worship, livestreams, holiday schedule and more

We are grateful that 2022 looks more like the pre-pandemic Advent, Christmas and Epiphany we remember. 

Christmas Eve this year falls on Saturday and Christmas Day and New Year's Day are both Sunday worship days.  Those two Sunday worship services will be more intimate and will not include all of our usual Sunday activities. 

​

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23

GREENING OF THE CATHEDRAL

9:30 a.m.

The Flower Guild will gather on Friday morning to decorate for Christmas.  If you would like to help, please come, and bring your clippers.  They will also need help moving the poinsettias into the church.  Let Sage Bolt or Lucy Brady know if you can help.  If you have magnolia trees in your yard, we would love to have you drop some branches on our porch before 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning.
