Please join us on Christmas Eve
We will hold two services of lessons and carols – one at 5:00 p.m. and another at 9:00 p.m.
The 5pm service will include music by the Occasional Brass Quintet and a special message for the children in attendance, who will be invited to help light the candles on our Advent wreath. At 9 we’ll have music by strings and Crawford’s Chancel Choir.
We hope you’ll join us and bring your family and friends…all are welcome! If you are unable to be with us in-person, you can still join us via the livestream on our Facebook page or YouTube channel. Click HERE to download a copy of the bulletin for our 9pm service.

Crawford’s food ministries stand to get a little power-up this month… Stop N Shop has chosen our micro pantry and other food ministries as the beneficiary of their Blooming’ 4 Good program. During the month of December, every purchase of this $11.99 bouquet at our local Stop N Shop (695 Main Street, Winchester) will earn us another $1 to help fund our food ministries!
We are happy to share that, for the entire month of December, Crawford’s Micro Pantry and other food ministries have been selected by store leadership at Stop & Shop’s Winchester location (695 Main Street) to receive a $1 donation from every purchase of the specially marked $11.99 Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet. These funds help us keep our own micro pantry stocked, purchase or prepare meals for guests of the Dwelling Place in Woburn, help local food pantries keep their shelves stocked when asked, and more.
This holiday season, consider sharing a beautiful Blooming’ 4 Good bouquet to brighten your dining table, thank a host or hostess, or spread a smile. The Bloomin’ 4 Good Program, which was launched in February 2021, is an easy way for shoppers to support local nonprofit organizations. To learn more about this program, please visit stopandshop.2givelocal.com.

God’s call to Moses at the beginning of Exodus is arguably the most consequential call of God in the Bible. But Moses had more than a few reservations about it. You won’t want to miss Sunday with some drama in the sermon leading into a barn-burner of a choir anthem as we relive the story with a few contemporary touches.
