Posted Wednesday, December 16, 2020 4:13 pm

Holly Brook Baptist Church will hold a 5:30 p.m. Christmas Eve service open to everyone that will include the Lord’s Supper. Pastor David LeFlore said although the service “may look different from past Christmas Eve services, we can look forward to celebrating the birth of Immanuel.”

The public is invited. The pastor asks that those planning to attend call the church office and give the number of people attending with them so that provisions can be made.

The service will also be online on the website: hbbc.live or on Facebook. Deacons can bring the worship elements for those watching.

Call the church office for more information. The church is located at 3219 S. FM 2869, Hawkins; telephone 903-769-2091. The website is www.hollybrookbaptist.org.
