Christmas Lights at BJU

Bob Jones University invites the Greenville community to the annual Christmas Celebration Friday, Dec. 2, from 4-9 p.m. on the BJU campus.

“The community is invited to join us as we usher in the Christmas season. We have a variety of activities⁠—game stations for children, concerts, food trucks, a radio show, and the highly anticipated Alumni Christmas Market,” said BJU President Steve Pettit. “The evening is capped by a reminder of the true reason for Christmas followed by a choir-led singing through beloved Christmas carols.”  

Pre-show activities open at 4 p.m. Greenville County Councilman Stan Tzouvelekas, will join President Pettit at the Christmas Lighting and Carol Sing Ceremony at 7 p.m. in front of Rodeheaver Auditorium. After Pettit reads the Christmas story, he and Councilman Tzouvelekas will switch on over 100,000 Christmas lights across front campus.
