Come join Cephus, Beau Dean, and all your neighbors for a good old-fashioned Christmas gathering at Ravenwood Ridge! With plenty of laughter, heartfelt music, and the story of Jesus Christ at the center, it’s the kind of celebration that feels just like sittin’ on the front porch with family.

Add in some joyful singin’, toe-tappin’ music, and a few treats from the concession stand, and you’ve got yourself an evening that’ll warm your heart clear through.
