Moravian Academy’s Middle and Upper School Vespers service will be held on Thursday, December 12th, 2019 at 7:00 pm in Central Moravian Church. Choral music students and handbell ringers under the direction of the Music Department staff provide the music for this special evening service.
We want as many parents and community members as possible to be present at this special service. The Church has limited seating, however, so you will need to reserve a ticket in advance. Please know that if your child is participating, we have already reserved two tickets for your household. These pre-reserved tickets were mailed to you this week.
Parents of students who are not participating in the service may begin requesting tickets on December 6th by calling Mrs. Sue Williams, administrative assistant at the Upper School at 610-691-1600. Households may request up to two tickets. Important note: If you receive a ticket and do not plan to attend for any reason, please return the ticket to the divisional office.
All extra tickets will be forwarded to Mrs. Williams who will then be able to make those tickets available for other guests who may be in need of one. Tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, and we will take requests for available tickets from December 6th to December 10th.
There are a few important details regarding the service. Although participating students will need to be dropped off early, the doors will not be opened for parents and guests until 6:30 p.m. Please do not ask our student ushers to let you enter prior to this time as there are preparations that need to be addressed prior to the doors opening at that time.
It is necessary to bring your ticket the night of Vespers as we cannot admit anyone without a ticket. Due to fire codes, parents are not permitted to stand in the back of the church so everyone who attends the service must be seated.
Since this is a worship service, we do not permit parents and guests to record the service; however, the school does provide a recording of the service in the following days on our Comenius Corner blog. We will also be live streaming the Vespers service.
We look forward to having you join us on December 12th!
