Christmas Eve at Little Hills

Come Celebrate the Savior's Birth with Us

Join us on December 24 at 7 pm on Christmas Eve as Little Hills — a special moment to prepare our hearts for Christmas Day.

Blue Christmas

A Service of Hope in Grief

As we approach the Christmas season, we often feel weighed down by losses, hurts and disappointments that seem to conflict with all the celebrations around us. Blue Christmas is meant to help us bring these things before our God, who understands. Christmas, after all, is about Him coming into the world to restore the things that are broken — including us.

This service will be both in-person and live streamed at 7 pm on December 13. Please join us in-person if you can; if you cannot, you can find the service on your favorite streaming service below. For those watching online, consider having a candle available to light at a time you will be prompted to do so later in the service.
