The Dove Choir will sing, and kids from the Sunday School will present their Christmas pageant telling the story of Jesus' birth. There are plenty of walk-on roles for the pageant as well - kids can pick up a shepherd, angel or sheep costume from one of the Sunday School teachers in the Chittick Lounge, and come forward to "Bethlehem" when their group is called. Plenty of joyful noise - fun for all ages! Mary Lough will accompany the singing on piano.

We have a wonderful array of young-adult musicians offering their talents either as soloists or in small ensembles for this service, that includes the familiar Christmas scripture passages and a chance to both sing and listen to well-loved carols. The Rev. Dr. Carl Wilton will preach on "CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED." Soloists include Morgan Sarbello (flute), Chelsea Pula (vocals),  Ania Wilton (vocals), Ben Wilton (guitar & vocals) and Jon Yount (vocals). We'll also enjoy the music of Nicole Thoms and Olivia Youngman, two talented vocalists from Point Boro High School. We'll end by holding candles as we all sing "Silent Night" together. Sara Hoey will provide organ accompaniment.

This service is similar to the 7:00 service, but with the Chancel Choir, under the direction of William R. Shoppell, Jr., presenting a variety of stirring and meaningful Christmas anthems. Dr. Wilton will preach on "CHRISTMAS UNWRAPPED."  Sara Hoey will accompany on the organ as we all hold candles and sing "Silent Night" together. Departing the Sanctuary at midnight, we'll truly know Christmas is here!
