Candlelight Service

Luke 2:11 
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, 
which is Christ the Lord."

Inviting you all to the GCC Annual Candlelight Service. It will be held at 9PM tomorrow evening (Dec 24). Yep... that's Christmas Eve. Let us celebrate the birth of Christ Jesus our Saviour together, because HE is the reason for the season.


A little history for those who don't know what the Candlelight Service is all about. [another source here]

A candlelight service is a type of Christmas Carol that was formed around the Victorian era (1837-1901) by William Sandys and David Gilbert who collected and published a list of Christmas songs from England. Christmas carolling became so popular that lighting candles while singing became popular. This has become a tradition that is celebrated by many churches all over the world. It's a really nice service where we can feel really really Christmasy.
