If you did register, watch your email for confirmation of which services you will be able to attend in person. (If you registered for the sanctuary, you will definitely be confirmed for those services. If you registered for the Family Service in the parking lot, you will definitely be confirmed for those services. If you registered for the tent, we ran a lottery for all three services, and you will be confirmed for at least one of those.) You will receive this information before the holiday begins.
