St. Matthew's Episcopal Church

If Christmas Eve feels like chaos — wrapping, cooking, moving pieces everywhere — this service is a gentle, meaningful pause for you and your kids.
You don’t have to keep them quiet. You don’t have to dress perfectly. You don’t even have to have it all together.
Let your children experience the joy and wonder of the Nativity without pressure on you.
Kids and youth lead the Christmas story through music and movement, followed by Communion that’s open to everyone. It’s lively, short, and built around the attention span of children.
Why overwhelmed families love this service: 
• A joyful Christmas experience for kids — instead of another to-do 
• Short, engaging, and low-stress 
• “Come as you are” friendly (fancy clothes not required) 
• A chance to make a Christmas memory without prepping one
If you’ve been craving one moment that feels like Christmas — this is it.
What to Expect:

• Youth-led Nativity Musical followed by Communion 
• Hot cocoa and apple cider up on arrival 
• Children’s activity booklet 
• Great for first-time visitors 
• Come as you are—no dress code, no expectations
We would be honored to celebrate Christmas with you.
