December 24 - Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship

The candlelight service is one of the highlights of the worship calendar. Beeswax candles trimmed in a skirt of fireproof red or white paper remind worshipers of the purity and sacrificial gift of Christ.

At Good Shepherd Church, each worshiper receives a candle from a server. A flame originating from a candle near the front of the sanctuary is passed from candle to candle until all are lit. The sanctuary is then darkened. The aesthetic effect of softly glowing candles lighting the faces of young and old proclaiming Christ as the Light of the World is unforgettable.

At this point the traditional Moravian hymn "Morning Star" is sung. This is a responsive hymn lead by a soloist or duo (traditionally children) that lights one's heart to match the candle one holds.

5:00 p.m. - Candlelight Service tailored for families with smaller children

7:00 p.m. & 9:00 p.m. - Traditional Candlelight Service
