CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE PARK
December 24th, 2025
Christmas Eve has arrived.
The frantic rush from store to store has finally faded—the long lines, the crowded parking lots, the constant hurry now behind us. In its place, a holy stillness settles in. Beneath a canopy of stars, we pause… to breathe, to remember, and to reflect.
Thank you for joining us for our annual Christmas Eve Service in the Park. There is something especially fitting about celebrating this night outdoors, gathered with family and friends, where heaven once broke into the ordinary. Against the quiet beauty of creation, the timeless story unfolds again—the Shepherds keeping watch, Angels proclaiming good news, Wise Men following the light, and a Child born in Bethlehem.
It is our prayer at Celebration Beach Church that this evening you encounter the greatest Gift ever given—the Gift of Salvation, offered to the world through the Baby of Bethlehem. May His peace fill your heart, and His light guide you into hope.
TONIGHT’S CHRISTMAS EVE OFFERING, AFTER EXPENSES, WILL GO TO OUR “HELPING HANDS” MINISTRY. THE PURPOSE OF OUR HELPING HANDS MINISTRY IS TO AID PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY IN SITUATIONS OF DIRE NEED.
WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP IN SERVING OUR COMMUNITY.

Sunday Service
We meet every Sunday* (with limited exceptions) in Cambier Park. Our services begin at 9:30 a.m.
We urge people to come early and enjoy complimentary coffee, fruit, pastries and fellowship prior to the service.
Celebration Beach Church is PET FRIENDLY, as we have a pet station for your furry friends with water, snacks and even a first-time doggie guest bag. Our dress code is always beach casual.
A Special Thank You to the Boy’s Youth Choir of St. Mary’s Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Myers
