Then the angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid, for behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people.

For there is born to you this day
in the city of David
a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.”

— Luke 2:10–11

We pray that you have considered the good tidings and are experiencing the great joy that comes only through the Savior who is Christ, the Lord!

Merry Christmas!

🎄 Christmas at First is TOMORROW! 🎄
We can’t wait to welcome you and your family for an evening filled with hope, joy, and the true meaning of Christmas.

Our drama team has been working incredibly hard to bring the Christmas story to life—this year highlighting some of the often-overlooked people in the narrative: Zacharias & Elizabeth and Simeon & Anna. Each of them waited with hope for the Savior—and their stories beautifully point us to Jesus.

📸 Enjoy these preview photos from the drama!
✨ We’d love for you to join us tomorrow for this special celebration.

Invite a friend, bring your family, and experience Christmas at First!
