If this is your first Christmas with St. Mark’s…
I haven’t signed my child up for the pageant! Can they still participate?
Absolutely! Just make your way to Baxter Hall on Christmas Eve between 3:15 pm and 4 pm to get a costume!
What is the pageant like?
The Christmas story will be read, and there are actions for children and congregants associated with the different roles. We’ve even heard that Wonder Woman might make an appearance!
I love that St. Mark’s has childcare for most services. Will there be childcare for the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day services?
We are NOT offering childcare so that the caregivers can spend time with their families. But please bring your children to the 4 pm Christmas Eve service or any others you need to! We love families and kids. We do provide childcare in our Nursery on Sunday mornings during the rest of the year.
What is the masking policy at St. Mark’s?
At St. Mark’s, you are always welcome to wear a mask if you or your family are more comfortable wearing one! We will have some extras on hand in case you don’t bring one from home.
