On Tuesday, December 24, please join us for joyous celebrations of Christmas Eve!
At
5:00 p.m. This year’s pageant will be completely virtual. The pageant we are doing is “Tell Me the Story of Christmas.” Narrators will read the Christmas story with children asking them questions and acting out the parts. We will have speakers, characters (animals, shepherds, angels, etc.) and musicians. The pageant will be a combination of Zoom recordings and parents recording their children acting their parts. The pageant scenes will be recorded ahead of time and incorporated into the early Christmas Eve worship service. This service will be streamed online only at 5:00 p.m. Christmas Eve on Facebook.
Our Christmas Eve worship service will be based on the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. The story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus are told in nine short Bible readings from Genesis, the prophetic books, and the Gospels, interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns, and special music.
On December 24 we will have an extended prelude that begins at 6:30 p.m. with the service itself beginning at 7:00 p.m. on December 24. This service will be in person and livestreamed on our Facebook page. If attending in person, please pick up your white LED candle from the table in the Narthex before being seated.
You won't want to miss these very special Christmas celebrations.
