In the African American community the tradition to attend church on New Years Eve goes back to slavery. If you notice most white churches don't have service that night. What I have been told is that the Emancipation Proclamation didn't take effect until January 1. So the night before a lot of slaves/black people gathered together in churches and waited and watched for the new year to come in. It was a way to make sure they stayed safe. That's why that night is called "Watch Night Service".

I'm born again I've tried 2understand why the churches hold New Year's eve serv every YR. I was curious as to why for 30+ years so I started really searching scripture and then encyclopedias/dictionaries 2find out January is not the New year! It's the pagan god Janus New year, established by Rome! Janus means, beginnings/gates. God told us the New year is during the month of passover so why have we gone pagan? Were not celebrating walking in2 Yahweh's new year but Janus' Beginnings & Open door.
