As the most recent COVID 19 shutdown in greater Santa Barbara is in place through December, local churches have created a variety of options for Christmas Eve and Christmas services, with locations such as parking lots, tents, beaches, and lots of virtual.
Here are some examples:
Rev. Julia Hamilton will be leading two online services from the beautiful candle-lit sanctuary of the Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara. Worshippers are invited to join from home wearing their Christmas best or pajamas.
Peggs Community Church
Morning services for Dec. 20 began in prayer led by Brother Doug Maag with 35 in attendance for Sunday school, and 45 for morning worship. The devotional was read from Luke 2:1-20, and the first song, Joy to the World.
Happy birthday to Bud Moss. Get-well wishes and prayers go out for Pam Joice, Audrey Holland, Linda Earp, and Jackie McIntire, as well as all mentioned on the prayer chain.
The Christmas program, presented by the youth, was held at 5 p.m. outdoors, with attendees watching from their cars.
Our annual business conference and elections will be held on the second Tuesday of January, the 12th, at 7 p.m.
