This year’s Candlelight Service was such a beautiful event. The snow obviously kept people
away but there were those who were determined to be there, about 60 in all. Quite a few
people said they had never been to the service before, they loved it.
The sanctuary looked wonderful. It was warm. Candles and lamps sparkling and glowing. The
pianist was amazing.
Mike Blakeslee, who led the service, had some inspirations with the historic call to worship and
reading the words from "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" and the history behind it.
And the beautiful spread of refreshments downstairs afterwards. Good discussions with those
who stayed. Remembering other epic events in this space this year, first timers asking what the
building was used for, and lots of discussion about the preschool renovation project.
And there was much peace on earth and goodwill to all people.
Merry Christmas everyone.
