Explore Advent and Christmastide 2025: Stories, Worship, and Events Across Our Synod

Advent and Christmastide 2025: A Season of Hope, Light, and Shared Joy

As we enter the season of Advent and Christmastide, the Grand Canyon Synod invites all congregations and ministry partners to share their seasonal worship services, community events, and reflections on our 2025 Advent and Christmas page.

This special section of our website brings together stories, blog posts, and calendar listings that celebrate how Christ’s light shines through our congregations—from Advent wreath lightings and Las Posadas processions to Christmas concerts, pageants, and acts of service.

If your congregation or ministry is hosting an event, please take a moment to share your news or event. Submissions will appear throughout December and early January, helping others across Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and the Navajo Nation discover ways to worship, serve, and celebrate together.

The season of Advent calls us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ—waiting in hope, peace, joy, and love. In Christmastide, we rejoice that “the Word became flesh and lived among us” (John 1:14). Together, our shared stories become a living testimony of that Word made flesh in our world today.

We look forward to seeing how your congregation embodies this holy season through prayer, community, and celebration.
