The Christmas season is often one of the busiest for all of us. Between family get-togethers, office holiday parties, shopping for gifts, and preparing for a new year, it’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos of Christmas.
And yet, on a quiet night more than 2,000 years ago, the Son of God was born. Today, we are called to stop in the midst of the busy-ness, be still, and remember the profound gift of our Savior.
No matter where you find yourself this Christmas season, we hope you’ll consider joining us in remembrance and celebration during one of our Christmas Eve services. Whether you attend our church, a different church, or haven’t set foot in a church in decades, you’re welcome here at Journey Church in Lee’s Summit.
WORSHIP
All of our Christmas Eve services are identical. Each service will start with contemporary worship followed by an insightful Christmas message. We will end each service with family communion and prayer.
OVERFLOW
Because Christmas Eve services are highly attended, we will have an overflow experience in our Auditorium. Those in our overflow space will still get to participate in all service elements while enjoying worship and the message via live stream. To ensure a seat in the main service, we recommend arriving in plenty of time. Worship Center doors open 30 minutes prior to each service.
EXPERIENCE
Give yourself some extra time after service to enjoy Christmas-themed photo booths, a free coffee and hot cocoa bar, beautiful décor, and more. All services will also be streamed live for those who cannot attend in person.
PARKING
Parking is plentiful, but expect it to be full at every service. We recommend arriving early to secure a parking spot close to the building. Handicap parking is located near every public entrance of our building, and we reserve some of our closest, non-handicap parking spots in our northeast lot for first-time guests.
To help us plan for each service, we ask that you RSVP for the service you plan on attending. Registration is not required and registering doesn’t guarantee you a seat. This simply helps us plan for resourcing and childcare, and helps you identify services that still have room.
Below, you’ll see buttons in different colors to indicate how full a service is. If you want to be guaranteed a seat, we recommend registering for a service that isn’t marked yellow or red, if your schedule allows.
Christmas children’s programming will be available at every service for children aged six weeks to pre-k. Elementary, middle, and high school students are welcome to attend the adult services in our Worship Center. We will have activity books for younger children to help them stay engaged during each service, as well as a wiggle room for kids who need a break.
If it’s your first time at Journey, you can pre-register your kids online to save a little time before service. Pre-registration is not required, but does save you time when you arrive at our church.
