The program will be a classic Christmas Eve service emphasizing music,
including brass and string instruments, an adult choir, a children's choir
and a jazz ensemble. Featured music of the season includes "Silent Night,"
"Joy to the World" and "Go Tell It On the Mountain."

The service will be led by the Rev. David G. Abrahamson, pastor of Saint Luke

Berry-Bailey. Musical director is the Rev. Frank Stoldt, cantor at Saint
Luke.
