Christmas Worship Service Video

December 19, 2022 Leave a Comment

Since Christmas Day is on a Sunday this year and many churches have elected not to conduct an in-person worship service, including DeBows, the Eastern PA and Greater NJ conferences have worked together to produce a full worship service on video. It features Christmas liturgy, music and a sermon preached by Bishop John Schol. Select below the video you wish to view. You may watch the entire worship service (49 minutes), just the sermon preached by Bishop Schol (22 minutes), or just the music.
