- Reflective Worship: Take a moment to pause and reflect amidst the holiday hustle.
- Candle Lighting: A beautiful tradition that brings warmth and light to the evening.
- Christmas Story Reading: Share the timeless story that defines the season with family and friends.
It’s a simple yet profound way to connect with loved ones and celebrate what matters most during Christmas.
