First Presbyterian Church of Wilson is rekindling its Lovefeast tradition on Christmas Eve. Pictured is Mackenzie Poythress, practicing for the event. The Lovefeast at the church is similar to the Moravians’ tradition from years ago with hot tea, buns, carols and candlelight. This service reflects the true meaning of Christmas and provides quiet time to reflect and gather with friends and family. After the service, the church transforms into a sea of light as everyone lifts their candles and exits while singing "Silent Night.” Everyone’s invited to take their family and friends to share a time of fellowship at First Presbyterian Church, 414 Sunset Road, at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 24.
