Christmas Eve Family Service
Celebrate the joy and hope of Christmas at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Sylva. Our 4:00 PM Christmas Eve Family Service offers an inviting and welcoming space for all ages, especially families with children, though everyone is warmly welcome.
This service includes beloved Christmas readings, familiar carols, a children’s Christmas pageant, and Holy Communion. Children’s Church will be offered during the service. Children are invited to come upstairs for the pageant and communion, and all ages are welcome to remain in the main service upstairs for the entire time if they prefer.
The Christmas pageant is open to all children who wish to participate, with no prior preparation required. Just come as you are.
The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and joy-filled, making it a wonderful choice for children, newcomers, and anyone who prefers an earlier service. Whether this is part of your yearly tradition or your first Christmas Eve at St. John’s, you will find a place where you belong.
Join us as we gather in community to celebrate the birth of Christ and to share in the light, peace, and love of the season. All are welcome, always.
