| Christmas Eve Service Times
4, 7 & 10 p.m. Tuesday December 24
Christmas Eve will feature for three celebrations of the Feast of the Nativity on Tuesday, December 24.
The 4 p.m. service will be casual and oriented to people of all ages. The Eventide Band will lead us is singing a variety of favorite Christmas carols.
The 7 p.m. service will be a full choral Eucharist with choir and a chamber orchestra. The star of the Anglican Communion's Christmas celebration, Christmas Eve is filled with sights, smells and sounds of the season.
At 10 p.m., the choir and orchestra return. This service is modeled after the traditional Anglican midnight Mass liturgy and will include much liturgical pageantry, including incense.
The singing of Christmas Carols will precede the 7 and 10 p.m. services for 20 minutes.

| New Parish Website Launches
Our brand-new parish website launched yesterday morning and is now open for business as the electronic hub of our parish life. Driven by a recognition that Rector candidates will form their first impression about us when they visit our website and that we are all much more technologically able to get our information sharing needs met online, the new site will meet a variety of needs. A robust parish calendar, a landing site for the Parish Profile and background materials, details about everything from Sunday School to Bible Study to our latest publications and so much more are included on the new site: www.allsaintsbythesea.org. We invite you to visit the site and keep coming back in the coming weeks as we increasingly add information and interactivity.
