Christmas is here! Well, almost. Everyday there are more strings of lights and heaps of excitement. And there’s still time for last minute shopping, decorating, and planning. To help a little with the “planning” part, below is a list of church services (especially on Christmas Eve) and holiday celebration in the area. Especially for newcomers, this is meant to be a resource to Christmas celebration in the area.
Please note: the only churches that have confirmed worship service schedules for 2019 are All Saints Catholic Church, First UMC of Sneads Ferry, Hampstead Baptist Church, Scott’s Hill Baptist Church and Topsail Presbyterian Church.
This list is just a start. We know it is incomplete and there are still more churches and events in the area. Churches are listed alphabetically by region. If you know of a service not listed, please contact us at rciplustopsail@gmail.com so that we can make sure to include it. Also, if you are affiliated with any of these services and would like us to include any additional information or photos from your holiday service, we would love to hear from you, too.
Merry (almost) Christmas, y’all!
