Christmas Eve - pt1

The light is with us
Ollie & Rollie bring the Light into the sanctuary
Mickey Boykin lighting the Christ Candle
"Almost There"
Paul Ludington is our liturgist
What a night! With a steady snow falling throughout the day, Christmas Eve at Stevensville UMC looked to be a challenging proposition for many. But the faithful didn't let a few inches of snow deter them as they made their way to the church and shared in the celebration that is the Nativity of the Lord.

The service may be seen on our Youtube Channel.

Thanks to the following for making tonight's worship so meaningful: Brenda Bolton, choir; Mickey Boykin, Advent wreath; Ollie & Rollie Fisher, acolytes;  Donna, Kalyn, & Margaret Lewis, vocal trio; Rev. Lois Hansen, preacher; Julie Ludington, piano; Paul Ludington, liturgist, Dave & Julie McGarvey, ushers; and Hazel Smith, organ. And a thanks to all the choir members who came out on this special night.

A special thanks goes to Tom Bishop, Ben Longbottom, and Paul Ludington for helping to ensure that the sidewalks were cleared!
