Lighting of the Way is an annual event within the Van Wyck community. Each year at Christmas the Van Wyck Presbyterian Church, the Van Wyck United Methodist Church, the Trinity Presbyterian Church and the White Oak A.M.E Zion Church join together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. The event starts with a short prayer at the Van Wyck Post Office and the participants walk up the hill lighting the way to the various churches. Each church host a short service and then cookies and drinks are provided at the community center after the last church.

The Candles continue to be lit all through the Christmas season lighting the way for Jesus Christ.

We would like to thank all of the participants in this years Lighting of the Way service. A special thanks to Reverend Karen Richmond and Kip Awbrey who played Dulcimers along with Donny Hicks on bass guitar. And a very special thanks to Wanda Barnes for her outstanding performance of "Sweet Little Jesus Boy."

We are very proud of all of this years participants from all of the churches and wish everyone a very merry Christmas.
