CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR EVENTS


Christmas & New Year Events
St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church
2107 Jackson Avenue, Seaford, NY 11783

Christmas is one of the most joyous seasons in the Christian Calendar. We celebrate the incarnation, the coming of God in human form, in the person of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Let us never forget this real essence of Christmas. Let us come to church to celebrate the birthday of our Lord. He is both the Giver and the Gift.

DEC. 18 – Sunday (10 AM)
Pre-Christmas Tea and Carol Singing will follow after the Mass (Eucharist) at 10:00 A.M. You are all invited.

Dec. 24 –Saturday (8:30 PM)
Christmas Eve – Lessons & Carols, a narrative account of the birth of Jesus in various parts of the Gospel. After every scripture lesson is an appropriate Christmas carol. It is a simple but solemn liturgy which will help refresh you of the Christmas Story straight from the Bible. We invite you to come.

Dec. 25-Sunday (10 AM)
Christmas Day - Holy Eucharist, Nativity Pageant and Santa Claus
What a treat for the whole family! The Pageant will serve as the Sermon, a live reflection on the message of Christmas. Holy Communion is open to all. After the Eucharist, the children can pose with Santa under the Christmas Tree. The Men’s Group (Brotherhood of St. Andrew’s) will give pointers on Photography as you point your Camera to your kids receiving gifts from Santa Claus.

Jan. 1-Sunday (10 AM)
New Year’s Day- Holy Eucharist and Renewal of Covenant.  The New Year is an auspicious time to pause, reflect on the old year and  resolve to have a New and better Year. Listen to a sermon on New Year’s Resolutions and join in a liturgy of renewing the covenant with God.

We wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The Rev. Dr. Winfred B. Vergara
Priest-in-Charge
