Masks are required for in-person attendees ages 2 years and older. \nWe will hold two Christmas Eve services in an indoor-outdoor format.

This service will have a children’s story during the indoor portion.\n7:00-8:00pm – Christmas Eve service #2 (begins in the fenced yard near the church and moves indoors).
