We encourage you to set aside time on Christmas Eve to gather (by yourself, with you family, with your COVID "pod," or even through Zoom) with your friends and family and engage in one or all of our virtual opportunities offered below! We have resources for people of all ages!
A Candy Cane Christmas Story
The Christmas Story, offered by the FPCLY community (2018)
Christmas Decoration Symbolism and Significance
A Journey Through the Christmas Story in scripture and song
Carols
We often sing carols on Christmas Eve as a part of our worship services. Below we offer multiple videos of carols shared in worship from our own community.
FPCLY Musical Offerings
We've also included a list of familiar Christmas carols we've shared in past Christmas Eve services. We encourage you to invite each person you are with (or Zooming with) to choose one of these songs and sing them together. It doesn't matter whether you make a joyful noise or a sing a sweet tune. We've offered a few links to YouTube versions of the songs to help you!

Candlelight Invitation
Take your Christmas Carol playlist on the road and listen to the songs while searching for the various light displays throughout the city. May the lights you see decorating houses, trees, and buildings remind you of the light shared by Christ and the light we are called to carry into the world!
***If you're really brave, stop outside a random home and sing one of the Christmas Carols!
