Christmas Eve Open House
🎄 Christmas Eve at the Carrells' Home 🎶🕯🍪☕

📅 When: Christmas Eve, 6–8 PM (come and go as your schedule allows)
📍 Where: The Carrells’ Home (see map for directions)
✨ Highlights:
At 6:30 PM and again at 7:30 PM, we’ll gather to sing Christmas carols, hear a devotional from Ryan, and close with Silent Night.
A joyful time to connect with your Southeast church family and worship together on this holy night.
🅿️ Parking: Ample parking is available in front of the Carrells’ home on Woodford Lane or along Stearns Hill to the west.
We’d love for your family to be part of this new Southeast Christmas tradition in the making!
