CHRISTMAS SERVICES

Christmas Day in the Christian Community is marked by a threefold celebration of The Act of Consecration of Man: Midnight on Christmas Eve, Dawn and Day on Christmas.

The epistles read at the beginning and end of the service at Midnight and at dawn are heard only once in every year, while the epistle read at 10:30 a.m. is read every day through the twelve days of Christmas. 

In the Christmas Service for Children the meaning of Christ’s coming is brought into the present with beautiful, pictorial language placed before the soul of the child. It is celebrated only once in the year.
