NASHVILLE, Nov. 29, 2022 – A Christmas concert by the Katinas at World Outreach Church on Wednesday evening, Nov. 30, is just the start of the amazing Christmas events the church has lined up for enjoyment by the community this holiday season.
From the return of the church’s ice rink to multiple concerts, children’s events and special Christmas Eve/Christmas Day services, World Outreach Church (WOC) hopes to help everyone throughout the region celebrate the true reason for the season. Evens include:
An evening of music for the whole family on Wednesday, Nov. 30 with the Katinas, who will be leading a free 60-minute Christmas concert in Three Crosses Sanctuary beginning at 6:30 p.m. This is the start of their I Need Jesus Christmas tour.
Each winter, the church floods part of its courtyard and converts it into an ice skating rink accommodating 50 guests at a time. For a schedule, a waiver that must be signed in advance, and other details, see https://wochurch.org/event/ice-rink/
On Sunday, Dec. 4, the WOC Teen Choir will present its production of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer Jr. live on stage. There will be two showtimes, at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. There will be additional activities for kids starting at 2:00 p.m., including Santa’s workshop, live reindeer, live nativity performances, train rides, food trucks, photo ops and more. Activities end at 5:30 p.m.
On Sunday, Dec. 11, celebrate the season with A Christmas Spectacular, a presentation of entertainment and worship for the entire family! There will be two show times, at 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The program includes singing, dancing and audience participation along with dynamic performances from World Outreach Worship and The WOC Kids Choir. Food trucks, Carolers, Hot Chocolate and Ice Skating will all be available.
WOC is hosting CAIN for a free Christmas concert on Dec. 18 at 6:00 p.m. The band, made up of siblings Madison Cain Johnson, Taylor Cain Matz and Logan Cain, has joined the church for worship as part of the outdoor festival line-up in the past, and World Outreach Church is happy to include them in its 2022 Christmas celebration.
The church will host five Christmas Eve Services, so there is plenty of space for families to worship together at the one that works best for them:
Wednesday, Dec. 21 at 6:30 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 23 at 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, Dec. 24 at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
WOC would like to extend a special invitation to itd Sunday morning service on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, at 9:30 a.m. for celebrating the birth of the King!
“We welcome the community to join us for any and all of our Christmas events as we celebrate the arrival of the baby in Bethlehem who is the Savior of the world,” Pastor Jackson said. “Christmas should be the most joyous time of the year, and we hope to be a resource to those throughout Middle Tennesee who feel they may not have much to celebrate this year. We want to help them experience the grace that Christmas is all about, which transcends our earthly circumstances that may not always seem very joyful.”
