Christmas at The Ridge

We love Christmas movies. We find ourselves watching them year after year as we build holiday traditions around watching George Bailey run around Bedford Falls, laughing as Clark Griswold fails getting the lights turned on, knowing what is coming after Charlie Brown picks his pathetic tree. Whether a beloved Christmas classic or a modern favorite, there are some timeless themes like hope, peace, joy, and love that shine through the lens of these popular holiday films. This series will take a look at how we can actually find the Biblical Christmas story in the midst of these audience favorites, and when we do we can deepen our understanding of how important the Christmas story really is in our lives today.

Join us December 8-24 for “Christmas at The Movies” where we’ll journey back in time to hundreds of years before the first Christmas and look ahead to how hope, joy, and peace has been a part of every single Christmas in history. We'll see you Sunday mornings at 9:30 & 11am, online or in-person. 

 


Christmas Eve at The Ridge

Join us on Tuesday, December 24 as we celebrate Christmas Eve. We'll have two identical services at 4:00pm and 5:30pm (online and in-person). Both service times will have childcare and children's programs for infants through 6th graders.
