With Christmas falling on Thursday, December 25, Christmas Eve is a sweet and meaningful moment to slow down and focus on what this season is truly about. Many local churches are offering special Christmas Eve worship services, and we’ve rounded up several for you here. Whether you’re looking for traditional, modern, choir-filled, or special-needs-friendly options, you'll find something that suits your family!
To keep things simple, this list includes Christmas Eve services only (even though some churches also host Christmas Eve Eve or earlier services). One thing that really caught my attention this year is Woodlands Church’s wide range of service times - including an 11:00pm option, making it possible to ring in Christmas morning right at church.
