Celebrate Christmas at Morrow: 2025 Advent Season Services & Events
We would love to have you join us in celebrating Christmas at Morrow. It’s a season where we have many guests. All are welcome!
Services & Events
Sunday, November 30 (11:30 AM): Make an Advent Wreath - Join us during Coffee Hour in the Fellowship Hall right after the 10:30 AM service to make an Advent Wreath for your home. All materials will be provided.
Sunday, December 21 (4:00 PM): Candlelight Carols - Join us for a beautiful evening of music and reflection as we usher in the light on the year’s darkest day. The service features the Morrow Church Chancel Choir, guest ensemble Clarum Sonum (directed by Rider Foster), the aPealing Bells, Morrow’s children’s choirs, and a professional string orchestra performing alongside Morrow’s youth string players.
