This is the week where we put together everything we've been planning for our Christmas Eve celebrations at The Orchard! We've spent a significant amount of time praying, planning, dreaming, and preparing for this event.
This Christmas Eve will be the biggest we've ever seen here at The Orchard.
We planned three services, and had to add a fourth because 2 of our services had 'sold out'. We used a ticketing system (free tickets) to help determine capacity at each service and allow us to be able to accommodate as many people as possible. We have a finite number of parking spaces and seating available.
As of yesterday we had nearly 1200 tickets out! Four services, 1200 people, 8 songs and 6 video segments - wow! We're also working on spectacular lighting using some of our new lights along with some additional lights from K B Productions. It's going to be good.
We have a great team of people putting this together and I love seeing all of them putting so much into this opportunity. That's what this is... one of our biggest opportunities to lead people to Jesus. This is one of those times when people will check out the local church when they may not visit any other time. We are ready to make it the best experience we can for them while celebrating the birth of Christ.
You won't want to miss this! By The way, if you don't already have a ticket, stop by anyway. We have saved some room for you!
Peace.

sorry guys, but I did not like the Orchard's Christmas service at all. I felt it was more like a comercial advertisement for the church and not worshiping our Lord and King at all. I know a lot of work went into, but just had to voice my opinion. Thanks for listening.
hmm, even if only 1 person came to know Christ, then in my opinion, He was worshiped and glorified and it was worth all the hard work. He himself even said that He came to seek and save those that were lost, The well do not need the doctor, but the sick. His methods were so unorthadox and unacceptable to the religious people of his day that they hated him, but then again, He taught us that it really is not all about us, but about those who need him, This is and should be the driving force behind everything.
