Candlelight Christmas celebration in Raymond church

Dec. 192017

RAYMOND – Raymond Village Community Church has announced an invitation to the public to their 11th annual Family Candlelight Christmas Pageant at 5 p.m. Christmas Eve, Sunday, Dec. 24, at the Church.

For 11 years, Raymond Village Community Church has offered a Family Candlelight Christmas Pageant that for both young and old. This year’s pageant features 16 preschool-to-high school-age youth from Raymond, Windham and other area towns, plus a couple of adult narrators, the Church choir, and a youth soloist, re-enacting the age-old story of the birth of Jesus Christ.

There is nothing formal about the pageant. Families are invited to “come as you are.” The atmosphere is warm, informal, and comfortable, the pageant full of candles, colors, costumes, and beloved old Christmas carols. “Our pageant is full of light, color, and song, and is brief enough for even the most fidgety little child,” said Rev. Nancy Foran, RVCC pastor.

“Christmas is a beloved season, but kids today are losing touch with how Christmas came to be. Our pageant is a way for parents to connect their kids with the real meaning of the season.”

The church is at 27 Main Street in Raymond Center just off Rte. 302, and will last approximately 45 minutes.
For further information, call 207-650-7845.
