The weather has turned deliciously cold, and many shops and businesses have already put up Christmas trees, lights, and ornaments. Lifehouse Tokyo is also gearing up for the most wonderful time of the year. But wait a minute, Christmas is not just about Christmas trees, lights and Santa, is it? No, it’s much more than that – it’s all about celebrating the wonderful birth of Jesus! Why not join us as we celebrate together on any or all of the following Sundays?
Luke 2:10-11 NLT
“but the angel reassured them. ‘Don’t be afraid!’ he said. ‘I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!’”

If you want to turn up the Christmas cheer, or if you have a little time to spare before your own Christmas Eve plans in the evening, why not join us for the Christmas Carols service? You’ll be sure to recognize some familiar tunes, but with a modern twist.
On this Sunday, the Kids Program will be offered during both the first service (10:15) and second service (11:30). The kids will get a special visit from Santa during the Kids Program as well. After the service, Santa will be sitting for photos again too, in case you missed your chance the previous week!
After each service, stick around to share the Christmas spirit with us over a cup of free hot chocolate!
