Merry Christmas from our Lynchburg Macaroni Kid family to your family! If your family plans to celebrate Christmas by attending a religious service, here are some area churches offers services on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Because Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday, many churches have Sunday morning services and afternoon or evening Christmas Eve services. Some churches also have services on Christmas Day. Some churches will also livestream their services on Facebook or YouTube, so plan ahead.
This isn't a complete listing, but a variety of churches (listed alphabetically) with services at different times, one of which may work with your family's schedule. Thanks to many who reached out in the Living in Lynchburg Facebook group to add their church's information. Some of these church services are also available via livestream, Facebook Life, or Zoom. Click on each link to reach the church's Facebook page or website for more information.
