Events

Every year the 1914 Rockford Methodist Church in the historic Village of Rockford hosts a Candlelight Christmas in Rockford. Gena Poovey, professor of music at Limestone College in Gaffney, South Carolina, started the event in 1991. She returns every year to lead the music with her classically trained voice. The music lineup rotates, often including choral groups from Surry Community College and area high schools, as well as bluegrass and gospel groups. Acoustics in the church are amazing, adding to the ambience of this traditional Christmas event.
