Christmas Eve Candlelight Service - Love Is Born
Join us this Christmas Eve as we honor the love that continues to be born in us and among us. With story, music, fun for the kids, and our beloved candlelighting ritual, we gather in love and joy. Bring the whole family to this hope filled service and join us for cookies and merriment afterwards, and maybe even a visit from Santa!
