Grace Chapel Watertown Hosting Pair of Christmas Eve Services

By |

Grace Chapel Watertown announced two Christmas Eve services at the church located at 525 Main St. in Watertown. Christmas tells the story of silence punctuated by sound — from a voice crying in the wilderness, to a baby crying in a cattle stall. Through Advent we journey alongside people who wonder about God’s silence; whose world needs heavenly peace; and who long for moments when all is calm, and hope shines bright. At a manger in Bethlehem, we — and they — find the God who came to be with us in seasons of silence and sound.
