Muhlenberg will host our third annual Community Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day in the Muhlenberg Activities Center (MAC). Christmas should be a time for joy and celebration, but far too many in our community face loneliness and hunger on this most special day. Hosting this Community Christmas Dinner gives us the opportunity to know our neighbor. This year, we open our doors for guests at 3:00pm, with dinner served at 4:00pm. Please join us for an evening of holiday-themed games, singing, great food and fellowship. Please use this Sign-upGenius form to see all the ways you can sign up to volunteer and be a part of this event either before Christmas Day and/or on Christmas Day.

Welcome Christ in the darkness through this quiet, intimate, reflective, and joy-filled service. This service includes music led by the handbell choir and solo musicians, congregational song, a full sermon, Holy Communion, and a candlelit Silent Night. It’s a “Midnight Mass” a few hours before midnight!

Gather for a rich liturgical service led by choir and organ. This service includes favorite Christmas carols, a full sermon, Holy Communion, beautiful anthems, and a candlelit Silent Night. The nursery will be staffed during this service, and the entire service will also be livestreamed.

Join us for an energetic worship for all ages. This service includes easy-to-sing hymns, a meaningful reflection, the sharing of Holy Communion, special music from our children and youth choirs, and a candlelit Silent Night, with battery operated candles for our younger kiddos! The nursery will be staffed.

Come early to get your photo taken by the Christmas tree! Kids will also have the opportunity to pack a special Christmas gift bag filled with quiet activities that can be done during worship and at home. Enjoy pre- service music by youth and adults from the congregation, and visit with friends old and new before worship begins at 4:00 pm.

Join us Sunday December 22 at 10:00am for “WOW! A Nativity Play” by Gwynne Watkins – a classic nativity play with a modern spin. Join an Angel who goes through the nativity story delivering the most amazing news. There will be light refreshments after the pageant.

The longest night of the year, December 21, has become a meaningful time to recognize the darkness of grief and loss in our lives that long for the light of Christ. The Harrisonburg Community Longest Night service brings together eight congregations (Presbyterian, Mennonite, Methodist, UCC, and Lutheran) for a service of Word, song, prayer, and Holy Communion. The worship provides an opportunity to be honest about our pain and be reminded of Christ’s light that shines into dark places. This year is Muhlenberg’s turn to host! Join in person or via livestream.
