WED DEC 24, 2025 Everyone is invited to join us… invite family, friends and neighbors! There will be three unique Christmas celebrations.
4:00 PM CHILDREN’S SERVICE OUTDOORS ON THE WATER. This service is especially for families, but everyone is welcome. There will be singing of carols and a message from Pastor Dirk titled Christmas Visions of the King – The First Worshippers. All children will receive a gift. This event will be held on the outdoor stage just north of the Roser Church Sanctuary. Park in the Thrift Shop or Fellowship Hall parking areas. Please bring your lawn chairs or blankets. Handicap parking will be available on the far west of the Sanctuary entrance. We will move inside in case of inclement weather.
7:00 & 9:00 PM TWO TRADITIONAL SERVICES IN THE SANCTUARY. The Roser Sanctuary is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Each person that attends will receive a candle with a plastic cup to keep the hot wax from dripping on their hands. At the end of each service, during the singing of Silent Night the lights will be turned down and the candles of those on the center aisle will be lit. Those sitting on the aisle will then light the candle of the person next to them and the light will pass through the Sanctuary symbolizing the spreading of the Light of Christ. We will sing Christmas carols interspersed with Scripture readings and a message from Pastor Dirk Rodgers titled Christmas Visions of the King – The First Worshippers. This service will be streamed live online or available to watch later on the Roser Church YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/c/RoserChurch).
The message by Pastor Dirk: Christmas Visions of the King – The First Worshippers
God’s people waited for what seemed like an eternity for His promises to be fulfilled. At last, that day had arrived, but few were ready for the event. The coming of this Child meant more than most could understand. This promised child will restore an ancient family line, but in a powerfully new way. God’s promised Spirit will breathe through this child and all who follow after Him. Some 2000 years later, however, with the benefit of hindsight, we can now see that Christmas provides constant and powerful reasons for hope, even when we are tempted by our own despair and cynicism.
