Christmas Eve

C3 Family, you are invited to join us for this fun community event on Saturday, December 13th! Start the afternoon off at Holy Grounds (200 S. King St) for cocoa or cider on us (other drinks available for purchase) and get a preview of the Tractor Parade floats on Centralia College Blvd! Then make the short walk to Main Street to watch the parade and cheer on the C3 float! This holiday tradition is a local favorite and we are excited to be a part of it!

We have a giving tree in the Commons that benefits local schools (Centralia HS, WF West, and Green Hill) in need in our community. Grab a tag, purchase a gift, and return it (unwrapped) to the church by December 14th.

For some people, the holiday season does not bring a lot of joy and cheer. Sometimes, the season increases the level of grief for the losses we have faced. This Blue Christmas service is creating space for the voids we feel during this season while clinging to the hope that can be found. No matter the feelings of loss, they are significant in many ways. It would be easy to push aside those feelings for the sake of the season, but God offers the gift of comfort, healing, and peace. Are we willing to be honest about our hurts and bring them before Christ?

You are invited to come and share this space with others as a pause in the midst of a season meant for joy and celebration. Join us on Wednesday, December 17th at 6pm. Please invite others who may need this time to pause and reflect as well.

You are seen. You are loved. You are remembered.

Join us on Christmas Eve at 4:30pm for our annual Candlelight Service. This is always a special time as we gather to reflect through music, Scripture, sharing, and candle lighting. Invite your friends and family to this meaningful service! Childcare for birth-4 years old will be available.

We appreciate all of you who give faithfully throughout the year to C3. Many also choose to give a special gift at the end of the year which enables the church to further its ministry and share Jesus with others. We encourage you to pray about your year-end giving and how it can support what God is doing through Centralia Community Church!
