All ages of children are invited to participate in our Family Christmas Eve Worship Service on December 24 at 4 p.m. Children will be invited to be worship leaders and readers.  Older elementary children will read the scripture and tell the Christmas story with any children who want to dress in costume to provide a visual image of the scripture.  Children can choose to be a shepherd, a Wise One, one of the animals, or an angel.

Children who wish to dress in costumes should come to the 4th floor theater lobby between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m. to choose their costume. Costumes will be laid out on tables or hanging on clothing racks by category.  Children will sit with their families until it is time to come forward to the chancel area for the Proclamation of the Word.  All children in costume or not will be invited to come forward.

After the story and a brief children’s sermon, children will return to their seats for the rest of the service.  Families are encouraged to stay in the sanctuary (kids in costume and all) for Holy Communion.  Following the service, costumes should be returned to the 4th floor theater lobby.
