Christmas Eve Service

After the children's program, the church rounded out the evening with a candlelight service. Our family lit the final Advent candle.



Kevin gave a short message about the significance of the manger.



Zion Church traditions also include passing out bags of candy and fruit to the children, and singing Silent Night in German, remembering the fact that the church was started by German settlers and conducted services exclusively in German many years ago.
