This will be a special Christmas at St. Paul's as we celebrate our 150th Anniversary of the first service held on Christmas Day, December 25, 1869!  Our Christmas Services will include some unique traditions and music as we remember our first worship service as a congregation. 

The Christmas Eve Family Service will be at 4:00pm on December 24, 2019.  This service includes a no rehearsal Christmas Pageant; all children are welcome to pick out a costume from the numerous ones provided and participate in a retelling of the Birth of Jesus during the service.  

The ​Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will be at 10pm on December 24, 2019.  For both of these services, we suggest you arrive a half hour ahead of time to be seated and enjoy carols before the service starts.

December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, 10am Service​   This service has a smaller attendance than the Christmas Eve ones.
