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.
Some churches only have services on Christmas Eve, some on Christmas Day, some both, and some neither. 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 Live, or Zoom.
