Candlelight Service - Sunday, December 19, 2021

The annual Candlelight Service returns to the First Religious Society Sanctuary this holiday season. The Candlelight Chorale will present a program of contemplative and spiritually deep music celebrating Christmas. The ensemble is excited to welcome back a live, in-person audience for this unique instance of the nearly 100-year-old tradition.

To accommodate safety protocols, the Candlelight Service will be offered twice on December 18 and 19 at 7pm. Tickets are limited, so be sure to reserve your seats early!

Masks and proof of vaccination will be required to insure that both participants and audience members remain as safe as possible.

If you plan to attend with another person or as part of a pod (three to six people), please assign one person to make the reservation for your group. Select the quantity of tickets you need, enter your own name and contact information, enter your own name again for Ticket 1, and enter the remaining names in your group for the remaining tickets. You will be seated with the people with whom you signed up.

Please plan to arrive 20 minutes before the service begins to allow everyone to be seated by ushers who will direct you to your designated pew. We will be seating people starting at the front of the sanctuary, closest to the pulpit and moving backwards toward the doors. Ushers will also be seating people in the balcony. Please consider sitting upstairs if you are easily able to climb the stairs.

Please change your registration online if your plans change, so that people on the waiting list can be added to the registrations.

If you have any symptoms or may have been exposed to COVID-19, please refrain from attending the service.

Please contact Justin Murphy-Mancini, [email protected], if you have any questions or need assistance.
