Christmas Eve Service at FPCNO

Join us for our in-person Christmas Eve Candlelight Service on Friday at 6 p.m. We'll have all your favorites such as the lighting of the Christ candle, Pastor Kathy reading the Christmas Story for children of all ages, and socially distanced candle lighting in the sanctuary while we sing Silent Night.  

 

Because of the low lighting in the sanctuary at night, this service was not videoed.
