We can't wait to worship together on Christmas Eve! Join us at 884 Chesterfield Rd, Annapolis MD with live preaching from Greg St. Cyr. There will be no Children's Ministry at our Christmas gatherings - they're for the whole family! Please navigate to the links below to let us know what gathering you plan on attending.

This signup is not a reservation, nor will we turn guests away if one of the gatherings slots fills up - you can come to any gathering you'd like! It simply helps us plan well for our volunteers as well as track capacity so we can best advise people which gathering to join.

Every year we welcome hundreds of visitors and guests on Christmas Eve. A great way to show love to our church family and those who are new to Bay Area is through serving during one or more of our five Christmas Eve gatherings. There are plenty of opportunities to be a friendly face and welcome people across five different serving areas!

There are also two great one-off opportunities to serve with our Creative-Comms team making the building beautiful for the Christmas season:

• Make Night: On Monday, December 1 from 6-8 p.m. we'll be hosting Make Night where you can come make clay ornaments for the trees. No skill level required and family are welcome!

• Deck The Halls: On Sunday, December 7 after the second gathering, we'll Deck The Halls of Bay Area (hanging ornaments on trees and garland). We hope to see you there! 

What is Advent? Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, which means "arrival." For hundreds of years, followers of Jesus have set aside the four weeks leading up to Christmas as a meaningful season of celebration and anticipation of the arrival of Jesus. Advent is a time to slow down and embrace the true hope, love, and joy of the gift of Jesus.
