Important Information for In-Person Christmas Eve (now Outdoor) Services:
If you are feeling well and want to come to church- wonderful! (pre-registration is no longer necessary but please look at this checklist before you plan to attend)
When you arrive, you will be guided through the front doors of the church one group at a time, to see the church and crèche scene while Christmas music is offered. You may pick up a star at the nativity and proceed to the side door where we will give you a battery-operated candle and a bulletin. Bring your star, candle, and bulletin down to the yard and warm up by the fire while we await everyone's trip through the church. This is a good time to enjoy some Christmas fellowship, and we will ask that you stay masked as we gather even though we are outdoors- this will help us in gathering close and singing together safely.
Once all are gathered, we will have a 15-minute Outdoor Christmas service ending in singing Silent Night.
You will then be invited to bring your star to the outdoor manger, leave your candle for us for next year;-) and get home to warm up.
We look forward to celebrating Christ's birth with you, even as we pivot, go with the flow, accommodate, and shift (sounds like the Christmas 2021 dance!)
Peace to you,
~Becky, the Staff, The Regathering Committee, and the Wardens
Our in-person 10:00 a.m. Christmas morning Service will ONLY be live-streamed on Zoom as well as our Facebook and YouTube pages.
In order to attend Christmas Services in-person, you must pre-register in advance as due to Covid-precautions we must limit in-person attendance.

Please plan to pre-register early so that you can guarantee a space in the sanctuary. We also plan to offer an option for overflow space to watch the live-stream of the service in Sherrill Hall where you will also be able to receive communion in-person!
