Las Posadas & Holy Communion
Tuesday, December 23 | 7–8:30 PM | Begins on Labyrinth
Join us for the Las Posadas Navideñas worship service!
We will begin in the labyrinth with a procession reenacting the journey of Mary and baby Jesus in the womb, and Joseph, on their way to Bethlehem. The celebration continues in the sanctuary with Holy Communion, carols, and scripture, and concludes with a joyful gathering featuring pozole, tamales, and a piñata.
¡Acompáñanos al servicio de Las Posadas Navideñas!
Comenzaremos en el laberinto con una procesión que representa el viaje de María, con el niño Jesús en el vientre, y José camino a Belén. La celebración continúa en el santuario con la Santa Comunión, villancicos y lecturas bíblicas, y concluye con una alegre convivencia con pozole, tamales y piñata.
