Here is a listing of Christmas Eve church services made available to the Icon from area congreations.

Bluffton Presbyterian Church will provide an online "longest night worship service" on Monday, according to Karol Farris Schilling, pastor.

The service is at 7 p.m., Monday, Dec. 21. It is online only at: facebook.com.blufftonpc/videos. A Facebook login is not required to watch.

"This service provides a time of contemplation for persons struggling this holiday season," she said.
