Christmas Eve Candlelight Service 8&11pm at The Presbyterian Church in Westfield

The Christmas season, filled with gifts and presents, reminds us of God’s ultimate present to the world in his son Jesus Christ. To celebrate that love, the Presbyterian Church in Westfield is inviting the public to enjoy the Christmas season with them through various events and services.

On Saturday, December 24, three Christmas Eve services will be presented. The Family Worship Service at 5 p.m. showcases the music of the Cherub and Joyful Sound Choirs and costumed children will recreate the scene in Bethlehem. The 8 and 11 p.m. Candlelight Services, led by Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Ray Roberts, will feature the Chancel Choir under the direction of Kathleen Connolly, Interim Director of Music and Organist. A musical prelude for each of the later services will begin one -half hour before the candlelight programs.

An informal 10 a.m. Christmas day and New Years day service will be held in the Chapel of the Presbyterian Church and will highlight the joy of the day with
congregational singing of timeless Christmas Carols.
