We hope you will join us at First Congregational Church in Winchester (the big white church on the town common) for one of our three services on Christmas Eve. It is a beautiful time to gather with people, sing carols, pray for the good of the world, and light candles of peace in honor of God's coming in the child of Bethlehem. We look forward to seeing you there!
