2 Experience the true joy of Christmas at Authentic Church As the year draws to a close, and the lights and laughter of Christmas begin to fill our homes, it’s easy to forget what this season is really about. Beyond the gifts, the food, and the rush, Christmas is about hope, peace, and the incredible love that God showed the world through the birth of Jesus Christ. At Authentic Church, we believe Christmas is a time to pause, to breathe, and to remember that we are not alone. It’s a time to reconnect—with faith, with family, and with the community around us. In a world that often feels hurried and divided, Christmas reminds us that joy is found in togetherness, generosity, and gratitude. Whether life has been full of blessings this year or marked by challenge, the message of Christmas is the same: you are deeply loved, and there is always hope. That’s why this December, we’re inviting you to come and share in the joy, music, and wonder of Christmas with us. Join us for our Authentic Church Christmas Carols Service on Sunday, December 14th, 5:00 PM at Authentic Church Ormeau. It will be a beautiful evening of live music, festive carols, and community celebration for the whole family. Bring your friends, your kids, and your neighbours—everyone is welcome to enjoy this special night as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, the light of the world. So, this Christmas, take a moment to step away from the busyness. Come laugh, sing, and share in something truly meaningful. Whether you’ve been part of church life for years or you’re simply curious about faith, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting for you at Authentic Church.
