Whether you are up for a short Christmas play, choral music, messages of peace, or just a warm turkey dinner, you will find just about everything at Oxford Hills churches this holiday.

Two churches will host free Christmas lunches on Dec. 25: the First Congregational Church and the Trinity Lutheran Church, both in Paris.

A group that calls itself “Friends and Neighbors” has for the past three years offered a meal open to everyone. Its fourth annual dinner will be at the First Congregational Church on East Main Street at 11:30 a.m. Christmas morning.

“It’s a group that is not affiliated with any particular church of civic group,” said Mike Murphy, a member of Friends and Neighbors. “It’s a bunch of people from different churches, or no churches.”

He said the group is prepared to feed more than 100 people. Over the years, diners have been a mixture of families with young children or people who simply desire some company on the holiday.

The other dinner will be held at 2 p.m. at the Trinity Lutheran Church on Buckfield Road.

Turkey and ham will be served, with all the fixings, and the church is asking people to make reservations at 743-6906. A visit by Santa has been promised.

Meanwhile, local churches are offering a variety of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.

The Rev. Donald Mayberry of the First Congregational Church in Paris said he will give a sermon Christmas Eve morning at 10 about “finding peace.”

“Finding peace is as much a choice as not,” Mayberry said by phone Wednesday. “There is peace given in faith, but if we don’t seek it and pursue it, we won’t find it.” He also said he will speak about the tumultuous conflicts in the world as well as peace in people’s own lives.

The Rev. Gertrude DeCoteau of the East Otisfield Baptist Church on Rayville Road said she is handing over the Christmas Eve daytime service to the church’s children.

“I believe they will present something they have put together themselves or written,” she said, either a skit or theatrical piece. There will also be choir music and readings. During the evening service, which begins at 7, there will be more music, scripture readings and a presentation by Henry Hamilton Jr., a former worker in Afghanistan who will speak about a well project the church funded a couple years ago there to help provide water to schools and a hospital, DeCoteau said.

The Christ Episcopal Church in Norway is offering a 4 p.m. service geared toward children and families, as well as a late evening communion with special music and carols, followed by hot cider and cookies. The following Sunday, Dec. 31, the church will have a festival of Christmas lessons and music, including readings, carols and choral anthems, with communion available afterward.
