Away in the Manger: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Services in La Jolla

Candlelight services Saturday and Christmas morning worship Sunday celebrate the season.

Can you believe it's almost Christmas Eve? Hours of shopping for presents, wrapping gifts and baking goodies will all come together this weekend with fun and feasting throughout town.

For many, it's also a time to celebrate in the Christian tradition and attend church services. Don't have a church? There are candlelight services Saturday and Christmas morning worship Sunday that celebrate the season, and we've listed some of them here for your convenience.

Pick your preferred denomination and click on the links for more information about the church. Childcare is provided at most locations. Have a great Christmas!
