Advent and Christmas 2023
Create Family Memories! Be our guest this Christmas season at Brandywine Valley Church!
Sunday mornings in December, our Advent sermon series is the “Veiled in Flesh the Godhead See.” We will study the most powerful poem about the incarnation of Jesus ever written, John 1:1-18. Join us this Advent to discover God’s greatest gift to humanity and the true meaning of Christmas.
Below are some of the special music concerts, services and our Christmas service project. Don’t miss the family photo opportunity!
December special events
Kids’ Christmas Choir Musical
WHEN: Sunday, December 10, 4:00pm
Kids’ Christmas Choir will perform the musical, Back to the Manger. Enjoy this action-packed drama! During an outreach program, the children discover a time machine. They accidentally transport themselves to several different decades. Because of these travels, they understand how important it is to reach out to others and spread the good news of God’s love!
Our Kids’ Choir (grades 1-8) has been practicing for this musical since September! Bring the whole family to this family-friendly, free concert.

Angel Tree Service Project
THANK YOU for giving…we have reached our goal of 100 children. If you wanted to sponsor a child but didn’t, there are still more children to sponsor.
Brandywine is again partnering with Prison Fellowship to serve the children who have a loved one who is incarcerated and show them the love of Christ this Christmas season. Our goal is to sponsor 100 children.
Angel Tree is online this year. This virtual-direct method allows you to sponsor a child for $30. They will receive a Christmas package containing:
- $27 Walmart gift card
- A message from the child’s parent
- Gospel presentation
- An opportunity to request a free Adventure Bible
- $3 of your sponsorship covers the cost of shipping/delivery
If you have questions about the online process, please contact the Angel Tree team via email. They are ready to support you in making this virtual ministry opportunity a smooth and successful experience for everyone.
Christmas Family Photos
Our Christmas gift to you is a free family photo! Families of all sizes – big, small, singles and couples – are invited to have their photo taken in our beautiful holiday photo area. A professional photographer will take photos on Sunday mornings, November 26 through December 17, after each of the services.
We will email the photo to you for your personal use (Christmas cards, gifts, social media, etc.). No strings attached! We will also use this photo to update your MyBrandywine profile.
The photos will be emailed the week after it is taken. Please be patient and allow us time to process the photos. We will get your photo to you as quickly as possible.
