Beth,
The Christmas Day Masses for St Matthew are accurate but I can

Southborough does not have a “Baptist Christian” based church so there are two close by:

Greater Grace Christian Fellowship, 187 Pleasant St. Marlborough (Christmas Eve Service 6pm)

Chapel of the Cross, 160 Flanders Rd. Westborough, MA (Christmas Eve Service 4:30 and 6 PM)
