Glorious Sounds of Christmas Concert
You, your family and friends are invited to the Glorious Sounds of Christmas Concert performed by Fremont's Christmas Choir, Orchestra, and majestic pipe organ. The concert features traditional carols as well as pieces by Dan Forrest, G. F. Handel, Kyle Pederson, Bruce Saylor and selections from the Magnificat by John Rutter. This 90-minute program will begin at 7:00 pm on December 13th, 14th, and 15th. Doors open at 6:30 for those holding a ticket and seating will be guaranteed until 6:45. Doors open at 6:45 for standby seating and any unused seats will be filled. Only 8 tickets per family please. If you would like a paper ticket instead of registering online, please stop by the church office during the week to pick them up. Unfortunately, we are unable to reserve, hold, or mail tickets as they will be distributed on a first come first served basis. We look forward to rejoicing with you at the Glorious Sounds of Christmas Concert.
Blue Christmas
Fremont is hosting a Blue Christmas worship service December 21st at 4:00pm in the Chapel. This service is different from traditional gatherings as it honors those who are experiencing grief and who are struggling with loss. You can expect a quiet and contemplative service that focuses on the healing touch of the Holy Spirit and the hope found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Come and be among others who have also experienced a loss. You will find support navigating the holiday season through connecting to an understanding community.
4:00 pm Children and Family Service in the sanctuary
5:30 Modern Outdoor Candlelight Service in the courtyard
7:00 & 9:00 PM classic Candlelight Service in the sanctuary
Holiday Giving Opportunities
Christmas Poinsettias
The Christmas celebration at Fremont will be greatly enhanced as members and friends of Fremont dedicate poinsettias in honor and in memory of a friend or a loved one. This Advent, consider purchasing a poinsettia in their name. There will be a listing of the honored or remembered individuals in the bulletin on Sunday, December 22nd. Each plant is $15 and may be dedicated to an individual or couple only. Multiple dedications require multiple plants. The poinsettias will be displayed throughout the church this holiday season. The deadline to purchase is December 15th.

Christmas Offering
This year’s Christmas Offering is designated for the diaper distribution programs at Maryhouse and Family Promise. Maryhouse serves homeless families and Family Promise serves homeless and low-income families. Diapers are very expensive, so this help is vital to families with limited incomes. Knowing that their babies are dry and comfortable means a lot to parents. The offering will be taken on December 15th. Please write “diaper offering” on your check’s memo line or use the link that will be made available December 13th on the website.
