Christmas at Colonial Church

December 28 Worship

Christmas Sunday
December 28 – One Service at 10:15 a.m.
In Person - No livestream Available
The first Sunday after Christmas is often a joyful day. Christ has come! The wait is over! Joy to the world! However, despite our desire to linger in that good news, the Gospel of Matthew brings us back to the ground. Through the story of Herod’s persecution, we are promptly reminded that even with Christ among us, the world is still a broken and messy place.
Our worship setup will be a bit unique as we will worship around tables in the Social Hall. Instead of facing the front, we will face one another. Instead of listening to one person do a lot of talking, we’re going to listen to each other. And the reason we are doing all of this is because the last Sunday of the year deserves something special. So this morning we will break bread and sing. We will pray and listen. We will gather together, and God will meet us here, for surely God is in this space.
Rev. Kelly Hansen will lead worship. Sweet breads will be available during the service as we break bread.

Wherever you are on life’s journey…

You Are Welcome Here.

We Exist to Be a Blessing.

Colonial Church was founded to be a “mission post on Mission Road.” We envision ourselves not as settlers, but as a growing colony of love and grace—cultivating compassion, community, and justice in the heart of Prairie Village.

Inclusive. Accepting. Welcoming.

At Colonial Church in Prairie Village, we believe that everyone deserves a spiritual home where they can belong and be celebrated for who they are. As a proud member of the United Church of Christ, we are an Open and Affirming congregation, committed to fully embracing people of all orientations, identities, and expressions. Here, you’ll find a warm, inclusive community that honors each person’s journey, supports one another in faith, and strives to make a positive impact in the world. Whether you’re seeking connection, purpose, or a place to grow, you have a place with us. Welcome home!
