Beth,
The Christmas Day Masses for St Matthew are accurate but I can
t speak for the other churches. However, the heading is for last year.
Huh? I don’t know what you’re referring to.
Aha. Just found it. Thanks
Southborough does not have a “Baptist Christian” based church so there are two close by:
Greater Grace Christian Fellowship, 187 Pleasant St. Marlborough (Christmas Eve Service 6pm)
Chapel of the Cross, 160 Flanders Rd. Westborough, MA (Christmas Eve Service 4:30 and 6 PM)
