The Reason for the Season

Faithful flock to local churches for Christmas celebrations.

There are many ways to celebrate the Christmas season. For some, it might be hanging treasured ornaments that have been passed down from generation to generation. Or spending quality time with loved ones and friends, or perhaps donating the gift of time to charitable efforts. And for others, it's all about the singing of familiar Christmas hymns and coming together as a community to celebrate.
