Join us for the Christmas Season
KIRK CHRISTMAS STORE
Kirk Community Christmas
If you are excited about extending the generosity and love of the Christmas season across the community, join the Kirk Community Christmas! There are multiple ways to make an impact this Christmas. At the Christmas Store, families in need can choose and buy presents they know their kids will love at heavily reduced cost. Kirk Community Christmas also supports adults under guardianship in Wake County. These vulnerable adults live with disabling conditions and without family support. Our small gifts, like a gift card, may be the only Christmas presents they receive. You can give directly to this effort as well through the online giving portal found here.

THE LONGEST NIGHT 2025
December 21 | 5:00pm
If the world is feeling especially heavy in this season, consider this service. In keeping vigil, we join together in witness and lament when we feel the darkness of our lives and world. In keeping watch, we join together to see and acknowledge the pain and suffering of our lives and world, even as we expectantly wait for the promised hope of Christ. Come keep vigil with us. The service is on December 21 at 5pm in the Chapel.

We are excited to offer our own version of the Love Feast at 5pm Christmas Eve. Whether you are a family looking for a place where your children can be children or someone who prefers the intimate warmth that a service like this provides, we hope you will come and experience the gift of this service. We will sing together, read the Christmas story together, share a meal together, (cider and buns, gluten free provided) and end in candlelight, a reminder to each other and to the world that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it.
