We’re excited to invite you and your family to celebrate the birth of our Lord with us!
If this will be your first time at Yosemite Church, welcome! Dress comfortably! Come as you are, whether that’s jeans or a dress. During Christmas Eve services we offer childcare during service for children birth-kindergarten. Children in 1st grade and up are invited to sit with their families.
Want to invite a friend to join you? Here’s a few tips!
Pray. Who has God placed on your heart to invite?
Ask yourself, “What would draw this person to attend a Christmas Eve service (community, Christmas spirit, season of life)? Maybe they’re looking for friends, support, or hope after a challenging year.
Craft a personal and natural invitation, not forced or robotic. You can even download an invite HERE to connect with others in a text message or on social media.
Take a risk and reach out with an invitation. Let them know which Christmas service you’ll be attending and invite them to also attend. It might be awkward, but it’s worth it! Even a wave or conversation can be impactful!
Pray that God would encourage them to say yes!
