Lots of Advent Opportunities at Grace!

Join us for Paducah’s Holiday Parade at 5pm on Saturday, December 3rd. We’ll watch the parade together from the sidewalk on Broadway, then we’ll get together for a good ol’ fashioned Holiday Potluck.

Our first Christmas Pageant rehearsal takes place December 4th, after the 9:45am service. There are still open roles, so all children are invited to participate! (Non-speaking roles are even available for children that will only be in town Christmas Eve.) The performance will take place at our 4pm Christmas Eve Service on December 24th. Contact The Rev. Meghan Holland for more information.

St. Nicholas is coming! We will celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas on December 4th with a visit from St. Nicholas himself! Kids should be sure to leave their shoes outside the sanctuary during the 9:45a service. There might be a special treat in them after the service!

Children ages 3-7(ish) are invited to participate in our Godly Play Advent Retreat on Saturday, December 10th at 10am. Lunch for the whole family will follow.

The Hanging of the Greens will be done after the 9:45a Lessons and Carols Service on December 18th. A beautiful service followed by a festive decorating party!

Christmas Offerings

This year, the offerings from our Christmas services will be divided between Grace’s Stained Glass Window Fund, PCM’s Fresh Start Project, and Community Kitchen.

The Nativity Pageant with Holy Eucharist will be December 24th at 4pm. The Festival Eucharist will begin on December 24th at 10:45pm. Christmas Day Eucharist will begin at 11am on December 25th.
