A huge crowd swelled to capacity for the annual Christmas Eve celebration at Lowdermilk Park.  Many began the evening on the beach and were treated to a classic sunset.  At dark the service got underway with music by the Mega Ministries Celebration Church and help from the Holy Mackerels Band.  A well received sermon was delivered and the event closed with the lighting of a candle by each individual in attendance.
