Christmas Eve
4:00 pm family service. We’ll tell the wonderful story of that night so long ago in Bethlehem when Jesus was born through ancient scripture and modern story. At this point, we’re hoping that the music will be provided in part by the bell choir and we are hoping to have amateur hour before the service begins. If you’d like to play something or sing something, please let me know, or sign up on the clipboard sometime in the next few Sundays. The service will end with a cande-light rendition of Silent Night.
7:00 P. M. Ceremony of Lessons and Carols. This year our service takes its direction from a contemporary Christmas Cantata written by Bob Chilcott called Christmas Night. Chilcott’s music is beautifully Christmas and yet something refreshingly different. We hope your can come to one or both of these services.
