The centerpiece of many churches is the weekly worship experience. Identified with vibrant preaching, spirit-filled music, prayer, scripture and more, dynamic worship can bring together generations and people of different backgrounds to honor the God of all creation.
The Great Plains Conference is working with congregations across Kansas and Nebraska to develop a full worship service, or components for churches to choose from, for online worship Christmas Eve or Dec. 27. Please check this page regularly for video components as they are available. All components will be available via links on this page by Dec. 19.
While all music is public domain, it is still highly recommended that churches have a CCLI license and a streaming license to use this content.
Download the bulletins (Word documents) so you can see what is planned and so you can start substituting your own content or copy and paste from these documents into your own bulletins.
Full services for Christmas Eve and a second for Dec. 27 (mostly a duplicate from Christmas Eve with just a couple of changes) will be available Dec. 18 or 19. There also will be options for downloading completed services up to the sermon and after the sermon for churches whose pastors want to provide the sermon.
Christmas Eve Full Service | Dec. 27 Full Service |
Christmas Eve Prior to Sermon | Dec. 27 Prior to Sermon |
Christmas Eve After the Sermon | Dec. 27 After the Sermon |
These performances all are public domain and can be used by any church. If you use individual recordings, please credit the singer(s)/musician(s) and the church.
