Christmas is always a special time at First Baptist, and one of the most important celebrations during the Christmas season is our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. This year has been different, and our Christmas Eve Service will be a bit different as well. Of course, the celebration of Christmas was never really about an event anyway. We celebrate Christmas because Jesus was born as Emmanuel - God with us. At the broken end of a broken year, we celebrate the birth of the One who would be broken for us so that our brokenness could be perfectly healed.
