December’s First Friday events in Greensboro actually begin on November 30th. The Festival of Lights in downtown Greensboro and the Moravian Candlelight Tea at the First Moravian Church begin this Friday afternoon. Many people head to tea at the church on Elam in the afternoon, and drive downtown for the Festival of Lights as night begins to fall.

The above women are dressed to work at the tea. They are enjoying a little conversation either before or after their shift. Imagine how many memories they have shared over the years. After all, isn’t that what holidays are all about? In the latter years of life, a big secret is revealed: The memories that come from fellowship with family and friends, and serving and helping others are the true, priceless gifts. Please consider heading out and making memories on the upcoming last/first Friday.
