BAYSIDE CHURCH GRANITE BAY CA has released its schedule for their Christmas Eve services which are now called Experience Christmas services. I remember when they first started and they really were all on Christmas Eve. But they are so beautifully done and have become so popular they now start a WEEK before Christmas Eve. And while they do hold some seats in reserve each service, I would highly recommend getting the tickets early to pick your seats and nights. In fact, I just took a break to get mine. There is a $5 donation per ticket that goes to help children in need locally and/or in Cambodia. This year’s special guest is William Close who was recently featured on the TV show “America’s Got Talent.” He is an instrument inventor, musical director, and performer. He has built over 100 unique instruments, including The Earth Harp, which you have to see to believe! Here’s an interesting article explaining a bit about him with two fascinating videos of him playing the harp and sharing how he created it.
The services will be held at 8191 Sierra College Boulevard, Roseville, CA, (916) 791 – 1244 and the times are:
- Friday Dec 18th – 2 – 6:30pm and 8:30pm

Where is light street in Roseville??? or Sacramento???
Thanks
You are reading my mind Marite – I’m hoping to publish a post of Christmas lights for Roseville and Sacramento later tonight 🙂 I’m not sure if you mean something specific – but Vernon has white lights on the trees all along before and after the City Hall and Downtown Square. I know a popular spot in Sacramento is the Fab 40s – several blocks of really gorgeous Christmas lights. Do check back later tonight or tomorrow and I’ll have lots more to see. 🙂
