Holy Trinity Silicon Valley · Palo Alto, California
Christmas Eve
A Service for the Birth of Christ
Thursday, December 24 · 5:00 PM
The old story, told again on the night itself.
On Christmas Eve we gather to hear the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Scripture, to sing the carols of the season, and to pray together as Christmas begins.
Holy Trinity is an Anglican church in Palo Alto, and our worship follows a pattern Christians have kept for centuries. Everyone is welcome, whatever you believe and whether or not church is familiar to you.
