Traditionally held in the DCC Chapel, the service was held for the 1st time in the brick church located at 617 N. Main Street in Danbury. A musical prelude featuring the New Danbury Cornet Band playing the original 1882 Danbury Cornet Band horns and music by our church pianists began at 6:30, with the service following immediately at 7:00pm. The service is primarily one of Christmas carols ending with the tradition of singing \u201cMorning Star\u201d with child soloists. Other special music by church musicians was included in the service, including the moving song, &#8220;Christmas in the Trenches,&#8221; this year performed by Joshua Shelton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An offering benefitting East Stokes Outreach Ministries was collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"330\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5410.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-330\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5410.jpg 330w, http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_5410-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"353\" src=\"http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_194453670_HDR-Copy-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-353\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_194453670_HDR-Copy-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_194453670_HDR-Copy-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_194453670_HDR-Copy.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Morning Star&#8221; soloists<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"485\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"347\" src=\"https:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_215355-485x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-347\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_215355-485x1024.jpg 485w, http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_215355-142x300.jpg 142w, http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_20231217_215355.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 485px) 100vw, 485px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Joy to the World!&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"146\" height=\"220\" src=\"http:\/\/danburycommunitychurch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Lovefeast-candle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-351\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Lovefeast Candle and Ode.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danbury Community Church held a traditional Moravian-style Candle Lovefeast on Sunday, Dec. 17th.
