ESTEVAN - St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church is inviting the community to attend an interdenominational church service on Dec. 23 at 7 p.m.  

The service is open to people of all faiths to come together in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and the start of the Christmas season.  

The service will be presided over by lay people, and filled with Christmas readings and stories. A live choir will perform uplifting, contemporary Christmas music throughout the service. 

“We’re reaching out to everybody in the community to come and celebrate the season of Christmas,” said Maureen Daoust with St. John the Baptist.  

She hopes this can become an annual event at the church. 

“It’s been on our radar for the last couple of years, but with COVID we were hesitant,” said Daoust. 

They will practise safety and follow all Saskatchewan Health Authority guidelines for places of worship. 

Everyone they have reached out to in the community has thought this is a good idea, and the service has been promoted at places of worship in the community. 

“We want to bring everybody together for the season of Christmas, and offer some time that people can come and enjoy some awesome music,” said Daoust.  

The public is welcome to join their choir and pastors and lay leaders are invited to participate in verses and prayers.  

A freewill offering will be accepted for the Estevan Salvation Army’s food bank.
