GILFORD — Gilford Community Church is set to welcome visitors from across the region for several family-friendly events this holiday season, beginning with a Community Tree Lighting on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 6 p.m.
After the tree lighting, carols will be sung outdoors followed by a brief service led by youth from the church and community. The evening concludes with refreshments.
“This is the first Sunday of Advent and the traditional kick-off to the holiday season,” said Pastor Michael Graham. “The inclusive spirit of our church is especially renewed during the holiday season.”
The church's holiday celebrations continue with the annual Christmas Fair on Friday, Dec. 2, 4-6 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 3, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Highlighted by a Christmas raffle, the fair will feature seasonal items, holiday greens and baked goods.
GCC is currently accepting donations of non-electronic items for the fair. Items may be dropped off at the church at 19 Potter Hill Road.
