Christmas gets stressful.

- It's difficult to find quality time

- It's hard to focus on what matters

- Guests are popping in unexpectedlyHAt

.... but Christmas is about so much more than that.

Join in worship as we come to the manger and celebrate the birth of Jesus!

At Wake Forest UMC, we want worship to be one of the best parts of your Christmas Eve.

Family-Focused

Your kids will love WFUMC Christmas! We want to create a place where the entire family can belong and love following Jesus.

Beloved Traditions

We know the importance of traditions that help Christmas feel like home.  All of our services will have carols, scripture and sermon.

Beautiful Music

Even though we may have been listening to Christmas music for weeks, nothing replaces a full sanctuary of voices singing those beloved songs.
