Maxwell Stark is Maxwell Smart: the kid holds the candle to light up Christmas

NEW ORLEANS –  Maxwell Stark is ready for Christmas.

He’s eight.

He’s a second grader at Metairie Park Country Day School.

And he’s in church for the holiday.

It’s a tradition.

And it’s a sacred service.

WGNO News with a Twist features guy Wild Bill Wood is at Rayne Memorial United Methodist Church where the congregation is ready for the reason for the season.

It’s a tradition here since 1875 when the church was built.

The reason for the season is also tradition.
