Saint Paul's Episcopal Church has celebrated Christmas in Central City for over 150 years. You are welcome to join the congregation.
CENTRAL CITY — Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church is opening its doors to the entire community this Christmas Eve for an evening of food, music, and tradition inside one of Colorado’s most historic churches.
Festivities begin at 6 p.m. with a cozy potluck supper, followed at 7 p.m. by a special performance from the Peak to Peak Chorale. Afterward, the Chorale will lead everyone in classic Christmas carols, filling the 151-year-old sanctuary with the familiar sounds of the season.
Those who wish to continue the celebration are invited to stay for the candlelight Christmas service at 8 p.m. The service lasts about 45 minutes, and all are welcome—no membership is required to attend or receive communion.
Saint Paul’s is located at 226 E. First High Street in Central City, a building with deep roots in the Peak to Peak. The congregation dates back to 1860, and the current church, rebuilt after a fire, has stood on its present site since 1874, later consecrated in 1876 by Bishop John Franklin Spalding.
Attendees are encouraged to bring gifts for the kids. If anyone is in need of gifts this holiday season, the church can help.
Whether you come for supper, song, or the whole evening, Saint Paul’s hopes neighbors will gather to celebrate Christmas in the magic of a community tradition that has endured for more than a century.
