We gather to tell the story of Emmanuel, God With Us! We gather to remember this story, to wait, and watch for Him to come again–even now. Come experience this story through word and song in a most powerful way. Directed by Matthew Woodson and performed by our St. John’s Choir and Orchestra, this is a service you don’t want to miss! Invite your friends and family as we Sing JOY to All the World together!

A BEAUTIFUL STORY. A TIMELESS PROMISE.
A CELEBRATION FOR EVERYONE.

We Hope You Will Join Us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Invite your friends, family members, neighbors, and co-workers to join us as well! Christmas is a great time to invite others to church, and share the love of Jesus with others.

We love having children in worship!

We want parents to feel comfortable worshiping with their children in all of our services. We also understand that sometimes parents worry about disruptions. Our non-staffed nursery is open to you and your child(ren) during all Christmas Eve Services. Those services being live-streamed will also be live-streamed into the nursery allowing you to easily follow along and rejoin whenever you feel ready. And, you won’t miss out on anything that happens while you’re out! The Nursery is located near the Parish Life Center Lobby across from the restrooms.

If you have questions about our Christmas worship services please contact the Church Office at 217.793.3933 or contact@stjohns-springfield.org.
