Thanksgiving Day Service

Thursday  |  November 27  |  10:00 am

Sunday Advent Services

Sundays |  November 30, December 7, 14, 21  |  10:00 am

This year’s theme will be: “Imminent Arrival.”  Here is a brief description of the worship series from our synod’s The Foundation worship resources… “This year’s Advent theme, Imminent Arrival, calls to mind how people eagerly anticipate the Christmas season. The Latin word adventus means arrival, and in the Christian church we eagerly anticipate three arrivals of Christ: the commemoration of his birth, his return on judgment day, and the moments he touches our hearts in Word and sacrament. The Lord is near!”

Midweek Advent Services

Wednesdays  |  December 3, 10, 17  |  4:00 & 7:00 pm

Nain will hold Midweek Advent worship services on the first three Wednesdays of the season at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.  All are invited and encouraged to attend either one of these services.  This year’s theme will be: “Bible Songs of Christmas.”  Here is a brief description of the worship series from our synod’s The Foundation worship resources… “People love Christmas music! It seems to be played earlier and earlier every year. There are many popular tunes, and some songs even have words that point us to the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus, our Savior. Did you know that the Bible has songs of Christmas? They were sung to announce Christ’s birth. We have only the words of those songs, not the music, but Christian composers through the ages have set those words to music. This year we look at the background and words of those songs to help us prepare to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child.”
