Christmas Eve Services
Celebrate the season at one of PHPC's special services featuring the Word, glorious music, and the welcoming fellowship that marks this blessed time of year. Four Christmas Eve night services will be held in the Sanctuary:
Family Service
Family Christmas Eve Service at 5 p.m. This is a great time to celebrate the season together as a family! Children are invited to select a costume and to join the throng of angels, shepherds, and kings as the Christmas story is told in the service. Even
children who are too young or too shy to leave their seat will love wearing a costume and watching the other children enact the story. No preparation is required. Everyone participates as we sing familiar carols. Child care is provided for children up to 18 months.
Other Services
7 p.m. Service (Child care available for children ages 0 - 5 years)
9 p.m. Service (Also broadcast live on WRR 101.1)
11 p.m. Service with Communion
Can't make it to the church on Christmas Eve?
Make it a family tradition to listen on the radio or watch online. The 9 p.m. service will be broadcast live on WRR 101.1, or you can watch the services live online. Just go to www.PHPC.org/livefeed. This is a great opportunity for out-of-town family to watch children participate in the 5 p.m. family service. All four services will be available online. |

Christmas Day Brunch and Service
Brunch: 10 a.m. in Jubilee Hall Worship: 11 a.m. in the Sanctuary No Christian Education Before the worship service starts, join us at 10 a.m. in Jubilee Hall for a complimentary family-friendly brunch.
Sermon: The Light of the World The presents have been unwrapped and the anticipation of Christmas is all but over. The season of waiting, of longing and hoping, has come to a close. Emmanuel, God with us, the Light of the World, the Word made flesh has arrived! Christ came to us, to shed light on the darkness of our world. As we celebrate Christ's birth today, we remember and give thanks for the light that illumines our path and invites us into living grace-filled lives. Preaching: Rev. Melissa Lopez Music: The Sanctuary Choir will sing "Shepherds in the Fields Abiding" arranged by Sir David Willcocks. We are also happy to welcome Mark McVey, currently starring in the Les Miserables in Dallas, and his family, who will sing "Christmas Day" by Michael W. Smith.
