Hampton Presbyterian Church
Hampton Presbyterian Church will celebrate the coming of the Christ child at three Christmas Eve services on Dec. 24. The 6 p.m. family service is a lively service that includes singing “Silent Night” by candlelight. Nursery is available for the family service only. The 8 p.m. watch night service will be a meditative style of worship centering around prayer and scripture with acoustic carols and candle lighting. At the 10 p.m. traditional worship service, we will celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ through bell choirs, brass, and carols, communion and the lighting of candles.
There will be one Christmas Day worship service at 10:30 a.m. In a refreshingly relaxed and joyful service, we will sing carols and attend to God’s word through several readings.
The church is located at 2942 East Hardies Road in Gibsonia. Call the church office at 724-443-3201 for details or questions. More information and other videoed services can be accessed through the HPC website, hamptonpresbyterian.net, or the church’s YouTube account.
