William Peace University cordially invites Raleigh residents to join in the spirit of the holiday season for a service and tree lighting ceremony on Nov. 16. The service led by WPU Chaplain Lee Carter begins at 6:30 p.m. on the University Lawn at 15 E. Peace St. After the 30-minute service, University President Dr. Brian Ralph will light the 40-foot Christmas tree near the campus’ iconic fountain. Families are welcome to get a special photo taken in front of the tree following the ceremony. A photographer will be on site to print the images, free of charge.
