Christmas Eve


Our Christmas Eve service is a very special and important part of tradition here at Cypress. The service this year will be a stand-alone service different from our production, Me & My Drum.

What are some elements to a Christmas Eve service that you would like to see us do?

I can't wait to hear your ideas!
