Christmas Eve Outdoor Candlelight Service

East Shore Unitarian Church 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue, WA, United States

Our 4:00 Christmas Eve service will be an in-person, outside event. The church and grounds will be decorated for the holidays, and we will have seats, outdoor heaters and canopies set up in case there is rain. Attendees are encouraged to dress warmly (and to remain masked.) The East Shore Mighty Choir will sing several holiday songs, and the gathered congregation will sing a number of Christmas carols together. Reverend Furrer will preside with a holiday message, and Director of Music Eric Lane Barnes will lead us all in song. There will also be a surprise musical guest for the 4:00 service.

Abruptly Changing Plans

Online Event

This morning we hoped for RITUAL RE/OPENING of our on-site worship services, but thanks to the Omicron Variant scare, it has led to a total redesign. Instead of the choir heralding our warm collective re-embracing of one another, we are once again, 100% virtual, i.e., in a holding pattern, until our newly adopted Guidelines for Safe Gatherings call for a return. Join us as we share a variety of experiences of both their frustration AND of unexpected riches bubbled forth out of a change in plans.
