Every year, we look forward to sharing Christmas Eve with family and friends at our church. But this year for everyone’s safety, we are having a gathering that will be memorable in a different way. Please join us from 7-8 p.m. outside the church for a candle lighting and perhaps a Silent Night song.
If you are unable to stop by, please feel free to use this service at home with your family!

Norwood Church first gathered in 1884 in the Norwood Township Hall. During the following year, the current church building was hand built by congregants and village residents. Continuous worship has been held ever since the church’s founding.
We hope you’ll join us on Sunday Mornings for safe worship at 9:00!
