The little church in the meadow in
Duck Creek Village, Utah.
Duck Creek Village area Photographer and Videographer Patrick Mahler took this beautiful footage of Duck Creek Community Church in Duck Creek Village, the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Duck Creek Village, and the Nativity co-sponsored by DCCC and the Alton Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The young people who staged the Nativity were from the Alton Ward and live goats in a nearby pen, also from Alton, added to the realism. The mountain is a beautiful place full of the Christmas Spirit as we prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior!
Please visit the December services and sermons tab for the Christmas Eve Sermon by Pastor Steve Baden as well as other snapshots of the Nativity Felt Board activity and special readings. The walk of the Lantern Lighters dressed in top hats and coats while singing "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" began the service with Silent Night being sung as the closing song by candlelight.

DCCC ALMS
Supporting community needs.
DCCC Alms gifted more than 100 small trees to senior centers in Cedar City so that they could be given to seniors at Christmas. Alms also raised $1200 through hosting a Hawaiian-themed lunch held on August 11, 2024, in the Fellowship Hall. Church members contributed various dishes, appetizers, and desserts. No one walked away hungry! Church goers donated $20 per person to enjoy this fabulous lunch. All monies raised help to support this year's projects benefitting seniors, families, and various worthwhile community charitable endeavors. The Alms project is led by DCCC Board member Cathy Riley and DCCC member and Sunday School Leader Pam Bugbee.

Special music and a decorated church were featured at the DCCC Thanksgiving Service.
Duck Creek Community Church practices Open Communion, allowing individuals, other than church members, to take the Eucharist, which is also known as the Last Supper or Holy Communion.
The video clip above is an excerpt from the Thanksgiving Service held November 20, 2016, at the church. In the video, Terry Welsh is offering Holy Communion to those in attendance. The tradition at DCCC is to pass the elements one at a time, the first element being the bread and the second element passed being the cup. Those in attendance hold the element and then take the bread and the cup together in remembrance of Jesus Christ.
Communion is usually offered at the church on the 3rd Sunday of each month. However, in December, Holy Communion will be offered only on December 24 due to the special Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 6 P.M.
Holy Communion is based on the Last Supper shared by Jesus Christ and His disciples, before Christ's crucifixion. Christ broke bread and drank wine with his disciples, and asked them to do this in remembrance of him. In the New International Version (NIV) Bible, the scripture of Luke 22:17-20 memorializes the origin of the Last Supper.
After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.

Pastor Baden’s Memorial Day sermon was one of the best sermons I’ve heard in my entire life! Wish I was there to hear it. I hope those who were there appreciate his message. God Bless Pastor Baden.
