*A Vigil Service is literally “a period of keeping awake… especially to keep watch or pray.” In the Church, vigil services are held on the eve of a festival service. Our Vigil Service will start at 11:15 pm, with midnight striking around the time that we are celebrating the Lord’s Supper. Having made it through the evening vigil to the start of December 25, we’ll wish everyone a Merry Christmas and continue with the rest of the service.
