    The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid!  I am here with Good News for you, which will bring great joy to all people.” – Luke 2:10

    As we prepare for Christmas this year, we find that the last day of Advent is also Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24th.  To help us sort this out in our minds, the first 12 hours we will celebrate as Advent with our 10:30 a.m. service, then from 12:00 noon  to 12:00 a.m., we will celebrate as Christmas Eve with our Family Service at 4:00 p.m. and a traditional Lessons, Carols and Candlelight Service at 7:30 p.m.
