Ladies of Light | 9AM | Pole Room
Get ready for some fast-paced festive fun! The Ladies of Light will gather for a little friendly competition. We’ll divide into teams and race to complete a Christmas-themed jigsaw puzzle. Who will be crowned the puzzle champions of the season? Come join the fun and find out!
07/December
Christmas Caroling
Join us for an evening of music, community, and Christmas cheer! We’ll gather at 5:00 PM in the church’s Gathering Area, form groups, and head out to share familiar carols with members of our church family and community. After caroling, everyone is invited back to the church for a time of fun and fellowship. Please bring a snack to share and enjoy a cozy evening together as we warm up, visit, and celebrate the season.
09/December
Bigs and Littles Christmas Party
Join us for a simple and meaningful evening designed for our youngest children—Kindergarten and under, attending with an adult. We’ll begin our time together with the Christmas story, told in a way little ones can listen, wonder, and enjoy. Afterward, families can rotate through a few easy crafts, play some age-friendly games, enjoy seasonal snacks, and even meet a special guest in a red suit. It’s a relaxed, family-friendly night to slow down, have fun, and share the story at the heart of the season. We hope you and your little one will join us!
PROUD TO BE A DOWNTOWN CHURCH!
As a church in downtown Orrville, Ohio, we strive to make our discipleship integral to the community's life, working to "build community in Christ".
We cooperate in mission with other Orrville churches locally and with U.C.C. churches round the world.
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
Christians are baptized into communion with Christ.
To be in communion with Christ is to be welcomed into the full life of Christ’s church.
As an Open and Affirming congregation, this welcome is without regard to race, gender, economic status, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, social status, or any other life circumstance.
Children's and Youth Ministries
Children and youth play an important part in the life of Christ Church and we value their participation both inside and outside of worship. We strive to help our kids take steps to owning their faith by encouraging them to spend time with God, use their gifts, spend time with others, and share their story.

LOVE AND FAITH
Thank you for considering a donation to Christ Church. With your help, we are able to serve and support our community, showing the love of God to those in need.

This month's special offering:
Church World Service:
When disaster strikes, Church World Service is the primary agency through which the UCC gives support for relief and recovery efforts. This assistance may take the form of winterized family tents for Pakistani earthquake survivors, food packages and tankers full of water for displaced people in violence-torn Darfur, Sudan or long-term recovery assistance for families affected by hurricanes, tornadoes or flooding across the U.S.
The Christmas Fund
The Christmas Fund has been caring for active and retired clergy and lay employees of the United Church of Christ for over 100 years, providing emergency grants, supplementation of small annuities and health premiums, and Christmas “Thank You” gift checks each December to our lower-income retirees.
