Christmas Eve – News You Need to Know (with attachments)
It’s Christmas Eve’s Eve…
and here’s all the News
You Need to Know!
Christmas Eve Service
You are warmly invited to our Christmas Eve Candle‑Light Communion Service on Wednesday, December 24th at 4:00 p.m. Come and enter the quiet wonder of the Nativity as we gather in the glow of candlelight, and once again tell the familiar story of our dear Savior’s birth through scripture and song, share the bread and cup of Christ’s peace, and welcome the Holy Joy of “God‑with‑us” with a concluding candle-light ceremony.
This gentle, family‑friendly service offers a moment of stillness and hope amid the season’s busyness. So come, bring your family and friends, bring your longing, your gratitude, your questions, and your praise—there is room for you at this Table and in this light.

Christmas Joy Offering
Our Christmas Eve Offering will be split between three worthy causes:
- Financial aid to church workers and their families who now find themselves in need;
- Scholarships to persons of color who would like to attend a Presbyterian school or college;
- Fort King’s Emergency Assistance Fund which allows us to assist those in our own community.
Please give generously and joyfully!
[And just a reminder that ALL 2025 contributions need to be received by Sunday, December 28th, in order to be entered into our system and applied to everyone’s accounts. Year-End Statements will be mailed out in early
January 2026]
Looking Ahead: Worship Next Sunday
We have a special treat for you this coming Sunday: while Pastor Bob is away on vacation (no, that’s not the treat!) the Rev. Marianne Niesen will be our guest preacher! Marianne is a former interim pastor here at Fort King, and a dear friend of this congregation! I hope you will come and give her a warm Fort King welcome! If you cannot attend in person, join us online: (same link as above): https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87639938456?pwd=geAWmLAxq3FvbGvbQjldc5oonOWlxu.1
