Sabbath Sunday: A Day to Pause and Reflect

This year, we’re inviting our whole church family into a day of intentional rest—space to slow down, breathe, and realign our hearts with God. Sabbath Sunday is an opportunity to:

Stop: Step away from the usual pace of life.
Rest: Restore your body, mind, and spirit.
Delight: Enjoy the blessings of family, friends, and community.
Contemplate: Look back on God’s faithfulness and look forward with hope.

Instead of gathering for services, we encourage you to lead yourself and your family in worship at home. We’ll provide a Sabbath guide to help you center your day on Him.

Let’s enter this day with open hearts and allow God to fill us with joy, peace, and renewal.

“Repeat the Sounding Joy” isn’t just a lyric we sing—it’s the heartbeat of Christmas. It reminds us that the joy Jesus brings doesn’t fade with circumstances, seasons, or struggles. His arrival broke through the silence of a weary world, and His joy continues to echo in us today.

This Christmas Eve, we invite you and your family to come celebrate that joy with us. Join us for meaningful worship, an uplifting Christmas message, and the cherished reading of the Christmas story. We’ll end our time together with a beautiful candle-lighting moment, a reminder that the light of Christ still shines brightly and His joy is worth repeating again and again.

Come as you are—everyone is welcome to be part of this joyful celebration.

Join us at 1pm, 3pm, or 5pm on December 24th. If you’re unable to attend in person, we will also be streaming our 3pm service online so you can join from wherever you are.

*There is an optional experience available for children 4 years and under.

Join us for our final Wednesday of the year as we wrap things up with a full-on celebration! Our annual YTH Awards are back, and we’re rolling out the red carpet. Students will enjoy a fun night of awards, prizes, and cheering on their friends and leaders. Dressing up is totally welcome (but not required) — come ready for a memorable end-of-year evening!

Kingdom Builders, formerly known as Heart for the House, is our annual offering that goes towards the expansion of the Kingdom of God through either initiatives within Abundant Life Church or by partnering with other organizations that are doing similar work.

This year we’re supporting Urban Outreach. Urban Outreach is a faith-based nonprofit that has served the Marshall Heights community in Southeast Washington, DC, for over 25 years. Through Bible studies, outreach events, youth programs, and essential services like meals and food assistance, they are dedicated to meeting both the material and spiritual needs of inner-city residents.

We will also be giving toward our campus expansion initiative which is all about creating more room for growth and connection. This project will add a new hallway linking the main entryway to the Kids Wing, featuring three new classrooms and an expanded entry space with overflow—allowing us to better welcome families and continue advancing the vision God has given our church.

Our goal is $80,000 for our Kingdom Builders offering this year.

We will collect the offering during all of our services on November 23rd. If you would like to give digitally, you may also do that at any time.
