Our Advent Service Lessons and Carols on December 8 will allow for unreserved additional seating in the courtyard of the church (weather permitting) to accommodate as many attendees as possible. If you have not reserved your free ticket via Eventbrite.com (which is currently sold out), this option will allow you to experience the joy of the season in our festive-lit courtyard with clear sight-lines via a large-screen TV. The doors of the hall will be opened to allow you to hear the readings and music “live.” We hope many of you will avail yourselves of this opportunity! Doors open at 4 PM for ticket-holders and others are welcome to fill the courtyard seats on a first-come, first-serve basis.
