Its just the way of setting the scene for the nativity its very audience participating, Rev. Rodgers said, adding the 10 p.m. service will be a trad- itional Communion service. Rev. Rodgers said Trinity has seen an increase of 25 to 30 per cent in attendance at services during the Advent season.

I find it hopeful the in- vitation that I sometimes give is that Im glad youve come home for Christmas and I hope you come home more often. I find it hopeful be- cause at least it means they are hanging onto to something, Father Bulbrook said. The other things that draws people to church on Christmas is that we think of God the Almighty and all powerful and awesome and thats true. But at Christmas he comes to us as a baby and God comes in smallness and gentleness and that attracts people. At St. Alban the Marty Anglican Church, there are three services scheduled for Christmas Even, including a childrens service at 5 p.m., a family service at 7 p.m., and a traditional service at 11 p.m. The congregation of Evangel Family Church will celebrate with a family candlelight service on Christ- mas Even featuring lots of music and readings, The church will hold a regular Sunday service on Decem- ber 28 at 10:30 a.m. Some Acton churches did not respond to a request for information on Christmas services. accomplish His mighty pur- poses.
