The holidays are busy for Gilford Community Church (GCC), which hosts events throughout December, beginning with its Annual Christmas Fair on Friday, Dec. 1 from 4:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m and and Saturday, Dec. 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

At the fair, shoppers can expect to find everything from cookware and glasses to tools and Christmas greens and wreaths. “There will also be some baked goods and, of course, some jewelry,” said Steven Melbourne, chair of the Christmas Fair. “We also have some linens and toys. It is so much fun to look for bargain items.”

On Sunday, Dec. 3, 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., GCC will host its Annual Tree Lighting Service, which will include singing of carols followed by a brief service led by their youth. After the service, cookies and hot chocolate will be served in GCC’s fellowship hall.

Gilford Community Church Christmas Pageant
On Saturday, Dec. 9, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., GCC will participate in the town of Gilford’s Annual Candlelight Stroll. “We will have a tent with a few outdoor carnival games and small prizes during the stroll,” said GCC Youth Director Amber McLane. On Sunday, Dec. 17 at 10:00 a.m., children of the congregation will perform GCC’s annual Christmas Pageant.

According to GCC Pastor Michael Graham, the holidays serve as a reminder as to why these days are celebrated. “Thanksgiving nudges us to live a more grateful life while Christmas reminds us that even in life’s darkest seasons there are flickers of light,” he said. "Our various holiday events allow us space to connect with others outside of a Sunday morning in many differing, meaningful ways."

Located in Gilford at 19 Potter Hill Rd, Gilford Community Church (GCC) is an inclusive, open community that welcomes believers and doubters, seekers and skeptics, young and old. Viewable live on YouTube, Sunday service takes place at 10 a.m. at 19 Potter Hill Rd., Gilford, NH and is also available on a livestream feed on GCC’s  Facebook page.
