Christmas Services
While our Christmas traditions remain and adapt, and new traditions emerge, we are honored that you include Holy Spirit Episcopal Church in your holiday season. We hope you will join us – whether you are near or far, online or in person. Holy Spirit Episcopal Church is a place where you will truly find a loving community of family and friends.

Dress warmly, bring family and friends—leashed pets welcome—and share in this peaceful, heartwarming celebration under the stars. (No Eucharist)
