How does a weary world rejoice? We acknowledge our weariness. Like Elizabeth and Zechariah, unfulfilled hopes weigh us down. With the psalmist, let us show up to grief and longing.
How does a weary world rejoice? With prophets and poets and unlikely parents, we will hold joy and weariness together this Advent season.
Our theme alludes to the 19th Century hymn, “O Holy Night,” which became popular in the United States among Christian abolitionists. Christ is coming to transform the world, so with a “thrill of hope” we will attend to God’s promises and raise of our voices in song. Together, let us embrace this special season at Grace Lutheran Church!

Get Active with an Advent Calendar
Our partners at A Sanctified Art LLC developed two special Advent calendars that mark the days leading to Christmas with invitations to reflect, reach out, and rejoice. Pick yours up at Grace Lutheran Church, download a calendar for kids, or download a calendar for youth and adults.
Christmas Eve Day
On the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we will gather for a brief worship service and then cultivate community. We’ll bake and decorate cookies to enjoy and put together treat bags to surprise our neighbors who have to work during the holiday.
Christmas Eve Candlelit Worship
On December 24 at 4pm, follow shepherds and angels to behold the source of our joy:
God come among us, close enough to cradle.
Feast at Christ’s table and sing beloved hymns in the glow of candlelight.
