This service included music by the adult choir, a story for all ages, signing of many beloved carols, and an exploration of risking joy. We closed by carefully passing a flame around the circle, singing Silent Night by candlelight and then sitting in the Great Hall in the quiet.

The Christmas Eve offering was donated to Joseph’s House & Shelter.
