One of our Creekside holiday traditions is our annual Harvest Offering that we receive the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving on November 24 This tradition was started as a way for people to express thanks through giving for the blessings we have received. All of the resources received are used to bless and support local outreach needs, national and international ministries, missionaries, church plants and any other needs that arise. This is the one “special offering” we receive each year and, due to the growing generosity of Creeksiders, this offering makes it possible to not need to ask for other special offerings during the year. We ask Creeksiders to pray and begin to prepare now for this Harvest Sunday so we can continue to grow our hearts and give to reach the hearts of our community and world. As we say around here, “If you want to be blessed, be blessable.” Creekside is a blessed church!

Join us Thanksgiving morning at 9:00 am as we start our day with worship and gratitude for all the blessings God has given us! This gathering is highlighted by Creeksiders, young and old, new and long-timers, who read letters of thanksgiving they have written to the Lord. It is one of our favorite gatherings of the year and we invite you to carve some time out to join us before carving your turkey; it’s a great way to start the holiday! And don’t forget our Creekside tradition and wear your favorite flannel shirt!

We invite you join us at Creekside to kick off the Christmas season on December 4 from 6:30-8 PM for a festive night filled with music, joy, and holiday cheer! Bring your friends and family to enjoy heartwarming Christmas music, hot cocoa, cider & holiday treats, and a special prayer to set our hearts for the season. So bundle up and don’t miss this opportunity to gather our community together for a night of peace, hope, and celebration. We look forward to celebrating together among the lights!

Bring your holiday cheer and something that shines to the City of Martinez Holiday Frolic Parade featuring Creekside.  For the third year running, we will make it snow down Main St. covering our community in suds and Christmas cheer. We want to see you, your family, friends, and neighbors strolling behind the Creekside Gingerbread House while the band rocks out and we invite our city to celebrate Christmas at Creekside. See you Friday, December 6th in front of City Hall in Martinez at 6 PM.
