Due to COVID-19 we are changing a few protocols when it comes to our Christmas Eve service so that we can celebrate this beloved island tradition in as safe a manner as possible. We are having two services this year, one at 4 PM and one at 7 PM.
Our 4 PM service will be geared more towards families and those who want to be outside to celebrate. We'll gather in the sanctuary parking lot, have s'mores and hot chocolate around a firepit, hear the Christmas story, and sing a few carols. Bring a flashlight and we'll end our time by singing Silent Night. Masks not required - though if we end up having to move the service indoors due to weather, we will require everyone to be masked.
Our 7 PM service will be our traditional carols and candlelight in the sanctuary. We will be enacting strict physical distancing inside the space. Masks are required for all - and we will be singing together (thus the requirement for distancing). This will affect our capacity and so reservations are required for attendance at our 7 PM service. You can reserve your spot using the form below. We know this isn't ideal, but we are putting these protocols in place to minimize exposure. Our 7 PM service will also be broadcast over Zoom: (Meeting ID: 834 4114 5219, Passcode:20152020).
Please note that we are also keeping an eye on cases in the state of Maine and may have to adjust plans for the service. Those who have registered for the service will receive an email if we have to move to a remote-only option.
We hope that you will connect with us either in-person or remotely this Christmas season!
