Celebrate Christmas Eve With Us!
Join us this Christmas Eve as we gather to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus, at one of our two church locations! Our joy-filled, family-friendly services will be about an hour long and will include familiar Christmas carols, a short message of hope, and the beauty of candle lighting as we reflect on the light Christ brings into our world.
Whether you’ve been part of our church family for years, are just beginning to explore faith, or are simply looking for a place to celebrate Christmas, you are warmly invited. Consider inviting a neighbour, friend, or family member to join you as we celebrate the good news of Emmanuel—God with us—this Christmas Eve.
*Our Christmas Eve service in Waterloo will be livestreamed at our 3pm service on our YouTube channel on December 24 and available on-demand afterward.
GIVE & SERVE
The Christmas season offers special opportunities to embody the love and generosity of Jesus to people in our community. Check out current opportunities below.
The Christmas Giving Tree
Share the love of Jesus with our neighbours through practical giving & prayer this Christmas!
Visit the Christmas Giving Tree in the WMB foyer from November 15–December 6 and choose a coloured tag representing one of three opportunities:
Adopt-a-Family: Help provide Christmas gifts, a turkey, and support toward the practical needs of a local family.
Neighbourhood Christmas Toy Store & Party: Provide a new, unwrapped toy for kids aged 0-17 (valued up to $80) to help parents choose and purchase affordable gifts for their children.
Sandowne School Christmas Baskets: Provide a $25 grocery gift card, a $10 Tim Hortons or Starbucks gift card, and or homemade cookies (nut/lard free) for a family at Sandowne Public School.
Each tag includes a specific need, return instructions, and prayer prompts for the family or community you’ll be supporting. By taking a tag, you’re committing to providing the item listed and remembering our neighbours in prayer throughout the season!
CHRISTMAS GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
As we enter the Advent season and prepare our hearts to welcome Jesus—the greatest gift ever given—we’re reminded of the hope, generosity, and grace at the centre of our faith. We are deeply grateful for the faithful giving of our church family throughout this first quarter, which enables ministry to flourish across WMB and KMB. As the year draws to a close, we invite you to prayerfully consider how God may be calling you to give as you’re able, helping us continue to share Christ’s light and hope in our community.
