Watch Night Service Tuesday December 31, 2025, Shady Grove Baptist Church

 

Mark Your Calendars – Watch Night Service Tuesday December 31, 2025 

“Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.” – Matthew 25:13

Please mark your calendars for our upcoming Watch Night Service, to be held at Shady Grove Baptist Church in Gum Spring, Virginia, beginning at 5:00 PM. This meaningful service is a collaborative worship experience bringing together all churches of the Beulah Baptist Sunday School Association as one body in Christ.

Watch Night is a sacred tradition centered on prayer, praise, reflection, and expectation. It is a time to thank God for His faithfulness throughout the year past and to enter the New Year prayerfully, seeking God’s guidance, protection, and renewed strength. As believers, we gather to watch, wait, and worship—placing the upcoming year in God’s hands.

All members are strongly encouraged to attend and support this united fellowship. Come prepared to worship, reconnect, and begin the New Year grounded in faith, unity, and hope.

Happy New Year

This outreach effort allows us to be a blessing to men and women who will be deeply touched by our kindness, prayers, and gifts during this holiday season.

Please note that lists of suggested items for both men and women that is posted on the church bulletin board. You may begin bringing unwrapped gifts starting Sunday, November 23.

Fauquier Baptist Church Christmas Play

 

Make a Joyful Noise and Sing Praises to Jesus’ Name!
Merry Christmas, Fauquier!
You are in for a treat! Please join us for a wonderful Christmas adaptation performed by several members of our church. This special presentation is quite the role-play—inspired by members of our congregation—and brings together humor with a warm, humanistic flair. It reflects a real-life circumstance that is beautifully resolved through the reminder that Jesus is the reason for the celebration of Christmas.
Our youth will also present an adapted Christmas skit that offers powerful insight and “food for thought” during this holy season. Come out and support Sister Karen Darkwah, Brother Kelvin Woodson, and the dedicated members of Fauquier who have been working tirelessly to bring this program to life.
Light refreshments will be served.
We look forward to celebrating the joy of Christmas together!
