Celebrate the joy of Jesus’ birth this Christmas at CLA! We have special services planned for the whole family. Our Christmas Candlelight Services will take place December 24 at 4:00 and 6:00 PM in person and online. And please plan to watch our Christmas Eve TV Special on December 24 at 7:30 PM, which will be shown exclusively on ABC27. In addition, CLA Worship’s latest album, JOY!, is now available for streaming and digital download. Learn more on our Christmas page, and pick up door hangers at either Welcome Center to invite others!

Through the Toy Share Experience, every year we are blessed to serve hundreds of families who are experiencing difficult times. Our goal this year is to provide a fun experience for the whole family on Saturday, December 7 and Tuesday, December 10.

There are various ways to serve! In particular, we are looking for additional personal shoppers who help guide guests through the various stations and Christmas Carnival game hosts. The Carnival is a great way for families to serve together. To learn more, check out our online registration, or stop by the Toy Share booth in the Lobby.

A team from CLA will be traveling to Boone, NC December 8-12 to assist with relief efforts from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Spots are still available for this important opportunity. Learn more and register. Questions? Email missions@clacamphill.com.

As you pray about year-end giving, please consider a special gift to CLA. To give, you may do so in person or online. All 2024 contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31. With any questions regarding a year-end gift to CLA, including stock transfers, contact Ken Ulrich by December 20 via email at kulrich@clacamphill.com or by calling 717-737-6560.

Our December promise in our Pursue the Promises all-church theme is that God promises to give us wisdom (James 1:5). Every Monday by 7:00 AM, we share a new Blog post by a member of our team. We encourage you to take a few moments to start your week by checking out each new post.

You will be able to access this week's post here, which is a short video from Pastor Shane kicking off this promise. You may also pick up a bookmark with the promise and verse at either Welcome Center.

There is an Informational Meeting today from 1:00-2:00 PM in the Youth Center for youth students and their parents about our 2025 missions trips to the Philly Dream Center and King’s Castle - Nicaragua. This will be a great opportunity for attendees to learn more about these two summer trips and ask questions!

For the rest of the year, no Wednesday evening activities will take place, including our Wednesday Evening Service, adult groups and kids’ programs. Youth, however, will meet on December 4, 11 and 18. Wednesday evening activities will resume on January 8, 2025.

Christmas Wonderland, our Broadway-style dramatic musical for the whole family, will take place December 6-15. Tickets are sold out for all performances, with the exception of single seats. For single seats, or any tickets that are returned, they can be purchased online at claproductions.com.

You may also purchase $5 standby seating tickets. In most cases, our standby guests are seated as tickets are turned in. While we cannot guarantee a seat, in the past we have been able to seat all guests. Standby seating tickets may be purchased prior to each performance at the Ticket Center located near our East Entrance.

If you enjoy decorating for the holidays, we'd love for you to consider helping us decorate our campus in preparation for Christmas tomorrow, December 2 or Tuesday, December 3. We have several times available for you to pick from. Volunteers will help decorate the Lobby and Sanctuary by fluffing trees, fluffing and hanging garland, placing decorations, testing Christmas lights, etc. Learn more and register.

We regularly reach out to our attendees who are in the hospital or homebound. We connect with and support individuals via phone and in-person visits, through prayer and by serving Communion. If you or someone you know would appreciate a visit, please call the church or email us at cla@clacamphill.com.

Service dogs are welcome in our building. However, we kindly ask that emotional support animals, companion animals and pets not be brought into the building for services, groups or events.

Your giving matters. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving! Learn more about ways to give on our giving page.
