Our 4:00pm service is designed to be especially meaningful to children. Please remember to wear a mask to this beautiful and moving service of Holy Eucharist, and be sure to join us following the service for Christmas caroling in the courtyard at 5:30pm!

This year, we will have a very special Christmas pageant for all children to take part in. We do encourage this for fully vaccinated children, but all children will be masked, and all are welcome. Children should come dressed as one of the characters in the traditional story of the birth of Jesus: Mary, Joseph, the innkeeper, shepherds, sheep or other animals, angels, the guiding star, and wise people.  The costumes that belong to Calvary will be available on Sunday, December 19, and all of the following week in Brackenridge Hall for those who want to use them, but children can also put together a costume from their home resources.  Children will come ready to be in the pageant and sit with their parents.

Rev. Beth will tell the Christmas story and when she mentions certain characters, those children will be invited to stand where they are – in the pews, ON the pews, whatever works best for them! This year’s Christmas pageant will be a welcome time of joy and noise and fun for all.
