Christmas Candlelight Service at Reeds Mill Church

MADRID — Reeds Mill Church, 995 Reeds Mill Road in Madrid, will hold its annual Candlelight Christmas Service on Sunday, December 22 at 3 p.m. All are welcome!!! This church is perfect for a nostalgic trip to “Christmas Past” with the original kerosene lamps and candlelit windows. Steeped in history and tradition, this service harkens back to the church’s first service held, December 2, 1892 where over 100 people attended.   This year’s Christmas celebration, led by Ginni Robie, includes singing favorite carols, the reading of the Christmas story and a brief message appropriate for the season: Something about a Christmas stocking for Jesus.
