Join us for a morning gathering of the Christmas story told through music and readings. Christmas Eve: Story + Song is a festive celebration for the whole family. We’ll have special treats for everyone. You’ll hear your favorite Christmas carols while Pastor Matthew reads the story.

For our traditional Christmas Eve evening gathering, we welcome the light of the world by lighting our Advent candles and then, in celebration, we will light the Christ candle. That light will spread and grow as we each take a bit of that light and lift it in song. Pastor Matthew will read the Christmas story and share a reflection on the birth of Christ.
With COVID-19 cases increasing, we want to reiterate our value of keeping everyone safe. We don’t want anyone missing out on their family’s holiday traditions because they attended Sacred Place. Maintaining a safe Sacred Place requires work from each of us. We ask that everyone follow the CDC’s guide to Isolation and Precautions for People with COVID-19.
If you have any cold, allergy, or flu-like symptoms, we ask you to stay home if possible and join us online.
If you have tested negative for COVIDthat morning, you may join us in person with a mask. We ask you to worship from home if you or anyone in your family tests positive for COVID.
If you test positive for COVID, you should remain home in isolation for at least 5 days after. These are the days you are most contagious with COVID-19. If you had minor illness, once you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) after your 5-day initial isolation, you may to rejoin us with a mask. If you had moderate to severe illness, you should isolate for 10 days. The CDC recommends you wear a mask for a total of 10 days since the onset of symptoms. With two sequential negative antigen tests 48 hours apart, you may remove your mask sooner than day 10.
Please do your part to keep everyone safe this holiday season.
