The Downtown Christmas Pilgrimage is a beautiful and special way to prepare for and celebrate Christmas. Basically there is music and singing at five churches in downtown Baton Rouge. We begin at one church then walk to the next one and the next one and so on – five churches in all. (We will probably not go to all five churches – that can take a long time and people might become too tired.)
You can drive yourself and meet us at the first church at 5:30 p.m. (nice and early in order to get good seats) or ride on the church bus which will pick up from the usual places starting at Edward Gay at 5:00 p.m. Please allow up to 5-7 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic. Bring good walking shoes and good clothes for the weather.
We normally park at First Presbyterian Church and then walk to Mt Zion First Baptist.
Children are welcome (as long as they participate and can walk with everyone else). We strongly recommend you have something to eat/drink before you come! (We may not be finished until around 8:00 p.m.)
This is perhaps Pastor Rick’s favorite activity during the Advent/Christmas season. We hope you can join us.

Many churches have a special worship gathering on Christmas Eve – rather than on Christmas Day. One of the most beautiful and moving worship gatherings of the year is on Christmas Eve. We encourage you to join us Thursday December 24 at 6:00 p.m. in the “big sanctuary” of University Baptist Church.
There will be Bible readings and special music and singing Christmas songs. At the end of the worship time we all light candles to represent the birth of Jesus Christ the Son of God whom the Bible calls the “light of the world”.
Pastor Rick is happy to drive the church bus and pick up people who want to come to this special time.
- Highland Plantation at 5:20 p.m.
- Edward Gay apartments at 5:25 p.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 5:30 p.m.
- Tigerland (please let me know where) at 5:35 p.m.
We will have our regular Sunday morning Bible study and worship on Sunday December 27.
