Paris, Tenn.—Despite chilly temperatures, a large crowd was on hand for Wednesday night’s 2018 Candlelight Advent Walk in downtown Paris. This year’s theme of “A Micah 6:8 Christmas…Do Justice, Love and Mercy and Walk Humbly” carried throughout the evening. Beginning at the Henry Co. Courthouse, the event included stops at First Presbyterian Church, First Christian Church, and then to First United Methodist Church for refreshments. Participating ministers included Pastor Joe Hansen, Dr. Trent Bullock, Rev. Cory Glover, Dr. John Dandridge and Rev. Carol Wade. Rev. Hansen noted that with Thanksgiving early this year, the Advent Walk also was held early. The Paris-Henry Co. Chamber van provided transportation as needed to the stops.
