Masks are required and social distancing will be observed.
This heartwarming drama takes place in an airport terminal on Christmas Eve. Each passenger has their own idea of what the perfect Christmas would be, but that starts to fade as the weather worsens and flights are delayed. As they talk to each other, they share stories of loneliness, family problems, addiction, college life, and frustration over their perfect Christmas plans being ruined. As they swap stories, the real meaning of Christmas comes to light.
Teays Valley Church of God is located at 185 Connection Point in Scott Depot, just east of Rocky Step off Teays Valley Road. Call 304-757-9222 for more information.
