Christmas Eve at Hayes Barton
Christmas Eve Worship
Thursday, December 24, 2026
Five services, for families with young children, candlelight, and a quiet late-night hour with chamber music. Communion at every service.
Five ways to gather on Christmas Eve
We’ve added a second Family-Friendly service at 1:00pm alongside our 3:00pm, so families with young children have more options around naps and meals. The 5:00pm service joins the 7:00pm as a Candlelight Service, led by the Chancel Choir. Our late service at 11:00pm is a quiet hour with chamber music.
