Annual "Christmas Eve Candlelight Gathering"

First Methodist Church of Center invites the community to their Annual "Christmas Eve Candlelight Gathering" on the Square in front of the historic Shelby County Courthouse on Christmas Eve from 6:00 -6:30 p.m.

The community will come together for an evening of festive family time of singing familiar carols while celebrating the joy of Jesus's birth. Everyone should bring their own candle. Hot cider will be provided prior to the event. The evening will conclude with everyone singing Silent Night by candlelight!

Rev. Malcolm Monroe stated that, "First Methodist-Center is overjoyed to be able to provide this community-wide gathering for the fourth year in a row."

In case of inclement weather, the event will be cancelled with no alternative service. (Santa Claus will not be with us because he will be on the other side of the world delivering toys to the children there.)
