Christmas at Grace
Grace Church people have made our church even more beautiful this week for Christmas. The church will be lit with candelabra and aisle candles and decorated with arrays of poinsettias. There's even a new coat of wax on the floor!
Grace's Christmas Eve Service is tonight (Friday) at 7:30 pm. We'll have special Christmas music and we'll sing Christmas hymns and carols, ending with Silent Night. All are welcome to participate!
Christmas Day Service is Saturday morning at 9:00 am. This will be a quiet service. Again, all are welcome!
Our celebration of Christmas continues with 10:00 am Sunday services on December 26 and January 2.
The January 2 service, besides being our last celebration of Christmas, will also feature Bishop Breidenthal baptizing, confirming and receiving members. A luncheon will follow that service. Here's our chance to meet our bishop--and for him to meet us.
