In-Person Christmas Worship Schedule
In-Person Christmas Eve & Day Worship & Walkthrough
You must review these In-Person Guidelines
before coming to worship at Christ Church.
Christmas Eve Creche & Carol Walkthrough
1:00pm to 2:30pm
The Church will be open for anyone who wishes to walk through, see the Creche and other decorations, take photos, listen to a Carol or two played on our in-church AV system, see the Rector, and receive a Christmas Prayer Card and Blessing. Our hope is that this will offer any family that might not be comfortable staying for a full, in-person worship service a way of being in the church on Christmas Eve. RSVPs are not required for the walkthrough, but we will have an usher doing our standard health screen and taking names for contact tracing.
Christmas Eve In-Person Hybrid Eucharist
3:00pm, 5:00pm & 9:30pm
Each Hybrid Eucharist will last about one hour and include a mix of live parts and prerecorded parts played on the AV system. Prerecorded parts of the service include Sermon, All Carols, and Scripture Lessons; Live parts of the service include all Prayers, Gospel, Holy Communion, and Organ Prelude/Voluntary. All Christmas Eve services will be identical. We are limited to about 40 people TOTAL at each service. We will have an usher doing our standard health screen and taking names for contact tracing. RSVPs are required to ensure you have a seat – we may or may not have limited room for walk-ins. Seating will be assigned by our ushers.
Christmas Day In-Person Hybrid Eucharist
10:00am
The Christmas Day Hybrid Eucharist features different music, readings, and sermon from Christmas Eve. We will have an usher doing our standard health screen and taking names for contact tracing.
