Christmas at Coker

If you love sharing great music and great memories at Christmas, this night is for you! Wear your ugly Christmas sweaters and invite friends and neighbors to join us. Festivities will begin in the sanctuary and then move to the parking lot. Our campus will be adorned in Christmas Lights and trivia will be on the big screen! Our winter wonderland will have crafts along with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Bring some cash for the food trucks! We will also have hot cocoa and Christmas Cookies to be decorated. It will be a wonderful evening for all! For more information, contact Dr. Mark Humphrey, mark.humphrey@coker.org
Las Posadas
December 18th | 6 PM
An Advent Service in the Hispanic tradition that recalls Mary’s and Joseph’s search for shelter in Bethlehem. Worshipers follow the Holy Family as they visit several innkeepers looking, unsuccessfully, for shelter. They finally find room and are welcomed into a manger. Our evening begins with a service in the Sanctuary and is followed by a fiesta with tamales, fun, music, door prizes, photo booth with Santa, and a piñata for the kids.
