For weeks, Pastor Daniel Meeter has been preparing for the Christmas Eve service at Old First. I hear it’s quite the event with gorgeous music. He tells me that the church fills with over 300 people. He encouraged me to come. I wish I could go but I’m having my father and stepmother over for Christmas Eve. Here are the details if you’re looking for something to do on Christmas Eve:

The Christmas Eve service at Old First, 7:30 PM will include candlelight, Lessons and Carols,Dr. Daniel Meeter, preaching on The Gift of Peace, festive Music For Organ and Brass, the Great Hymns and Carols, and congregational singing.
