For 78 years, First United Methodist Church in Grapevine has celebrated the beginning of the holiday season with a special Candlelighting service. The 78th Annual Candlelighting will be on Sunday, December 14, at 7:00 PM in the Sanctuary of First Methodist Grapevine (422 Church Street). This musical celebration of the season features a children's choir, along with the Chancel Choir and Orchestra. There is no admission fee, just come enjoy!

The following Sunday, December 21, you can relive Mary and Joseph's Journey at the Las Posadas celebration, starting at 6:00 PM in Founders Chapel. The journey will take us from place to place, looking for "room in the inn." Share in Christmas carols, worship and end the evening with a celebration like no other! There will be food and fun for all ages!

You will also want to make plans to bring your family to Christmas Eve candlelight worship on Wednesday, December 24.
