Pilgrim Church plans Advent, Christmas services
Why not make the holiday season even more special for your family this year by attending some of the Advent and Christmas worship services at Pilgrim Church of Duxbury?
Like other Christian churches, Pilgrim Church, which is affiliated with the United Church of Christ, holds Advent worship services the first four Sundays in December.
Under the guidance of the church’s new Senior Minister, the Rev. William Ferguson, all Advent services start at 10 a.m. in the church sanctuary.
On the Sunday before Christmas, Dec. 23, a special Christmas Pageant service will be held, also starting at 10 a.m. In this service, children and adults will act out the Christmas story, proclaiming the arrival of Jesus Christ’s birth. The service will include readings, acting, music and prayer.
On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, two services will be held, at 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The afternoon service will be a family service intended for children and adults. Then, a traditional service of lessons, carols and candlelight will be held that evening. This service will tell the Christmas story through song and Scripture. Participants are invited to come early, at 8 p.m., to listen to an extended musical prelude.
These, like all services at Pilgrim Church, are open to anyone, no matter where they are on life’s journey.
Join us on Sunday at 10 a.m. for worship.
Join us for Worship every Sunday at 10 a.m. followed by coffee, snacks and conversation in Fellowship Hall after the service.
