Christmas Eve Service - Our Christmas Eve Candlelight service is on Wednesday, 12/24 at 5:00pm.
Christmas Day Dinner - We are preparing in earnest for our annual Christmas Day dinner. In the past, we've served approximately 200 people on this sacred day between 12 and 2PM, providing a hot, full course turkey dinner, to seniors, the hungry and the lonely in an atmosphere of love and in the spirit of the season. And you can be a part of it! Please grab a Volunteer Form on the table in the Forum to see how you can help. Simply fill out the form indicating where you can assist and place it in the basket. All Turkeys have been donated for our dinner! Please invite people in your neighborhoods to come between 12 and 2 on Christmas Day. It is especially fitting for those who will be alone or are in need.
