Every child is invited to participate in this service by choosing and wearing a costume. (Costumes available in the chapel beginning at 3:30 pm.) Children will be called up during the children’s moment to create a living display of the Nativity scene. Following the children’s moment, children may go to the nursery or may remain in worship with their families.
Your family will enjoy this traditional yet family friendly service and leave with “Silent Night” on their lips as we include the traditional singing of this carol by candlelight. (Parents are invited to share their candles with the youngest children to avoid burned fingers from the hot wax. )
