Two children carrying candles or books walk through snow toward a church at night. Warm light fills the church's arched windows, and a full moon and bare branches frame the dark scene. The printed invitation reads, "You are cordially invited to worship with us at our Candle Light Service," and quotes Psalm 96:9a: "O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." The snowy setting and candlelight suggest a winter service, a familiar mid-century church tradition.
