The Christmas season is a time of joy, celebration, and reflection. At Open Arms Community Church, we’re kicking off the season with a special event that you won’t want to miss – Christmas Eve’s Eve, on December 23 at 6 PM & 8 PM.

What is Christmas Eve’s Eve?

Christmas Eve’s Eve is a beautiful tradition that has become a cherished part of our holiday celebrations. It’s a night for families, friends, and individuals to come together and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, a celebration of love, hope, and the birth of Jesus Christ.

At Open Arms Community Church in Bradford, PA, we’ve designed this special service to be a warm and welcoming experience for all. Whether you’ve been attending church for years or this is your first time stepping through the doors, you’ll find a place to celebrate and connect with others. We believe in creating an atmosphere where people can experience the joy of the season and reflect on what Christmas is truly about.

An Evening of Music, Performances, and Meaning

Christmas Eve’s Eve at Open Arms is a night full of heartwarming music, festive performances, and a meaningful message. Our talented worship team will lead us in singing beloved Christmas carols, filling the space with the sounds of the season. The music sets the tone for a night of celebration and reflection.

A highlight of the evening is our children’s skit, a fun and joyful performance that brings the Christmas story to life in a way that will captivate both young and old. It’s a perfect moment for families to come together and enjoy the season, with the kids taking part in something special that will create lasting memories.

Our pastor will share an inspiring message that brings the true meaning of Christmas to the forefront. In the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, it’s easy to forget the real reason we celebrate – the birth of Jesus Christ. This service provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and focus on the love and hope that the Christmas story brings to the world.

A Warm and Welcoming Community

At Open Arms, we pride ourselves on being a church that is welcoming and inclusive. Whether you’re a long-time member or a first-time guest, we want you to feel at home. The holiday season is about coming together and celebrating with those we love, and we hope that you’ll consider inviting your friends and family to join us for this special service.

There’s something truly special about coming together with the community to celebrate Christmas. It’s a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new ones, and share in the joy of the season. We encourage you to bring your loved ones – no matter where they are in their spiritual journey – to experience the magic of Christmas Eve’s Eve with us.
