Join us for our virtual Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship online...Thursday, December 24th at 5 p.m.

We will be celebrating our traditional worship service of Christmas scriptures, carols and hymns, culminating in the lighting of candles to welcome and honor the coming of the Christ child into the world.
