Local Christmas Services

2013 Christmas Services at Local Places of Worship

I got to thinking about Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services and thought that it would be nice to have a "one-stop" place to find the times for the local church services in the Highland/Fulton area. (each heading is a link to the church)

St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church, Fulton MD

There are 4 Christmas Eve Masses: 4 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m. and Midnight (which actually starts at 11:30 p.m.). There is also a 4 p.m. Mass at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Fulton. There is a single Christmas Day Mass- It's at 10 a.m. Fr. Dennis Diehl recommends that you come to Mass at least a half hour early for any of the services.

St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Fulton MD

There are 2 Christmas Eve services, one at 6:30 p.m. and the other at 11 p.m. The Christmas Day service is at 10:30 a.m.

Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, Highland, MD

There are 4 Christmas Eve services: the 4 p.m. Family/Children's service, the 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. candlelight service, and the 11 p.m. candlelight and communion service. There is no Christmas Day service.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Highland, MD

There are three Christmas Eve services. The 4 p.m. service features a Christmas pageant and the Eucharist. The 7:30 p.m. serice is the "Festal Eucharist" with the 11 p.m. service is the choral Eucharist with a prelude of Christmas music beginning at 10:30 p.m. There is no Christmas Day service.

There are a few other churches for which I couldn't find any references to their services.
