Christmas Eve Candlelighting Service … and Caroling!

First Parish is excited to invite members of our community to join us Friday at 4pm, on Christmas Eve, for a carol sing on the front lawn of the church. We will offer hot cider and hot cocoa along with song sheets with the lyrics to some well-loved Christmas carols that we can sing together while appropriately distanced.

During our caroling, we will invite contributions to Loaves and Fishes in support of their work in the community.

At 4:30 pm, anyone who wishes is welcome to join us inside for a 30-minute service of lessons on Christmas including reflections on the enduring power of the “Silent Night” carol. Then we will go back outside to sing “Silent Night” and “Dona Nobis Pacem” by candlelight. People of all ages are welcome and we’d love to have you join us.

We ask all who are attending to take the recommended precautions of keeping social distance and wearing masks. The service is led by Led by Rev. Melissa and Rev. Evin Carvill Ziemer, Rev. Alison Cornish, Ann Linge, and Lynne Walker. [Photo Credit: Paul Franz, Greenfield Recorder]
