Dear St. Scholastica Parish Community,
We hope that you are enjoying this season of Advent. As the Christmas season approaches, we have a great need for volunteers this year. In this email you will find three signs up, 1) Traffic Volunteer Sign-up 2) Christmas volunteer activities and 3) the Christmas pageant participation sign-up. Also, we have a list of decorations that we need to help make both the new property and our Church beautiful this Christmas season. These decorations would be donations to the church that we would keep and utilize in future years.
Please volunteer for anything and everything you are comfortable participating in. Thank you so much for helping us make this Christmas season special!
Christmas Volunteer Sign-up
We will need help decorating this year both the new property and our church. We are asking for help at various dates and times. Below is the sign with the dates, times and a small description regarding what you will be doing. We will be reaching out to everyone that signs up by this Friday, Dec. 19th, to provide additional details. Thank you in advance for your help!!
Christmas Pageant Sign-up
We are excited to be holding our Christmas Pageant this year outside in a manger (the pole barn on the property). The pageant will be occurring on December 24th Christmas Eve at 3:00pm before the 4:00pm Mass. We are eager to have the entire St. Scholastica church family participate. We would love for children and teens to sign up to play the parts and Narrate.
There are also songs throughout the script that families and individuals can sign up to sing. We will encourage the audience to sing along as well. Please review the sign up and script attached. You can sign up for as much as you would like. There are “non-speaking” parts so that non-readers can participate in the pageant. We do have costumes for all the parts listed in the sign up. However, feel free to dress your child up in your home-made costume if you would prefer.
If you would like to attend the pageant but not participate you don't need to sign up below just arrive to a little before 3:00pm. We look forward to seeing you then!
If you are interested in participating please do the following three things:
- Sign up for the parts that you, your children and your family are interested in doing.
- Virtually sign the photo release form and send that back to me at volunteer@stscholasticaerie.org.
- Arrive on December 24th at 2:40pm to pick up costumes and dress your child(ren) (costumes go right over their clothes).
Christmas Decorations Needed:
Soft white twinkle lights strands (regular Christmas lights) preferably on white wiring but green wiring is fine as well. Or any other kind of soft white strands such as Italian lights, mini globe lights etc.
Long zip ties, extension chords, and splitters.
Fabric: spools of Ivory, white, champagne, gold, maroon or red tooling or voile fabric.
Any battery candles with soft white light, luminaries and glow sticks.
Christmas Trees we are still in need of a least one but could use multiple trees. Artificial poinsettias, wreaths, and garland.
Thank you so much for your donations, they will help us decorate this year for the Christmas season!!
