We celebrate the special seasons of the church year with great music and liturgy that brings meaning to the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.
Won’t you join us?
Christmas and Epiphany 2026
Special Music for Advent
Sunday, December 13, 10:30am - Sanctuary
On the journey toward Christmas, we light the third Advent Candle as we wait in anticipation for the coming of Christ. The Chancel Choir, Seraphim Choristers, and Third Arts Orchestra present Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata 147: Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben.
Service for the Longest Night
Monday, December 14, 7:00pm - Chapel
The Christmas season doesn't always feel so joyful, especially in these times of continual upheaval. This contemplative worship service acknowledges the complexity of a world walking in darkness, waiting to see a great light.

Join the congregation of Third Church in the singing of favorite Advent and Christmas Carols following the conclusion of Worship.
