Hi Wingcommander,
Me too. This was my first Christmas service and second time to a church service ever. We took communion both times,
I commented to my wife(and she agreed) that each time I've participated in communion it meant more and made me think more about God than any conventions ever did.
Service was very nice and not boring. At one part they turned out all the lights and everyone had candles that we lit then sang Silent Night.
Candle light service I recommend it.
