UCoL Worship Online - December 17, 2023 - Joy Multiplied

The true building blocks of any church are the active participants. This week, our annual Mistletoe service features congregants, who contribute stories, songs, and more! Our theme for this year's Mistletoe service is Country Christmas, so don’t be surprised if you see some Western clothes in our midst.

We hope you pull up a chair and join us by the fireside for a fun service, full of joy! We aim to have your toes tapping and your hands clapping, as we explore what a Country Christmas looks like – and celebrate the farmland and homesteading we know and love. Wherever you join us from, you are welcome, and we hope you enjoy it!
