6:30 PM Celebrate Christmas Eve at Roser Church in the Sanctuary

DESCRIPTION
SUN DEC 24 Two unique celebrations:

4:00 PM CHILDREN’S SERVICE OUTDOORS ON THE WATER. This service features a Nativity Pageant in which all children are invited to participate. This service is especially for families, but everyone is welcome. There will be singing of carols, special music and a message from Pastor Dirk titled “God With Us: Why Christmas Matters!” All children will receive a gift. This event will be held outdoors on the grounds just north of the Roser Church Sanctuary. Park in the Thrift Shop or Fellowship Hall parking areas. It is important to bring your lawn chairs or blankets as chairs are not available. Handicap parking will be available on the far west of the Sanctuary entrance.

6:30 PM CANDLELIGHT CONCERT BY THE ROSER RINGERS HANDBELL CHOIR FOLLOWED BY A TRADITIONAL SERVICE IN THE SANCTUARY.
Each person that attends will receive a candle with a plastic cup to keep the hot wax from dripping on their hands. At the end of the service, during the singing of Silent Night the lights will be turned down and the candles of those on the center aisle will be lit. Those sitting on the aisle will then light the candle of the person next to them and the light will pass through the Sanctuary symbolizing the spreading of the Light of Christ. We will enjoy special music and sing Christmas carols and a message from Pastor Dirk Rodgers titled “God With Us: Why Christmas Matters!“. This service will be broadcast online on the Roser Church YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/c/RoserChurch).

Roser Church is located near the Anna Maria City Pier at 512 Pine Avenue on beautiful Anna Maria Island. For more information call the church office at 941-778-0414, go to roserchurch.com or find us on Facebook @roserchurch.
