Christmas Pageant

It’s time to get ready for the 2019 Christmas Pageant, a rich and favored tradition for 100 years here at Unity Church. This year we are celebrating our centennial – our pageant was first seen in 1919! We are excited to invite you to register your child/children to participate in our once in a lifetime centennial pageant.

Each year the service is held on Christmas Eve in the Sanctuary. The young people of our church perform the traditional story in tableau with our co-ministers, Janne and Rob Eller-Isaacs, narrating. Whether you are new to Unity Church or you have been around for many years, we hope that your child will want to participate in this meaningful and joyous event!

Registration is easy and starts today! The deadline to complete registration is Friday, December 6. Please use the form at right. All questions should be directed to Kelley Loughrey, pageant director, at 763-607-7520 (text or call) or kelleyloughrey@comcast.net.

The pageant cast and children’s choir will be posted online the week of December 9. Pageant participants need to be available for the entire rehearsal on December 23 and for both pageant performances on December 24.

Check in starts at 12:45 p.m. in the Parish Hall. You’ll be asked to review your child(s) name for the program – please make sure to do this!
At 1:00 p.m. we review the rehearsal plan and then the cast will go downstairs to their designated rooms. When the runners come to get you – be ready.
We rehearse the first time without costumes; please no shoes or boots.
After this run through the cast will go back downstairs and put on their costumes. There is NO eating/drinking (except water) once participants are in costume.
We will meet back in the Sanctuary 2:15-2:45 p.m. for photos. This is when parents should take photos (photos and videos are not permitted during the pageant on Christmas Eve).

Please make sure to feed your child before the rehearsal. We move through this quickly and do not have a snack break.

CHRISTMAS EVE PERFORMANCES
All cast members are to be at the church at 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday, December 24. The pageant services begin at 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Each service lasts just under one hour. Plan to arrive early for parking, etc. You can take photos with your family and child in costume downstairs after the second service, and then help with clean up. Official pageant photos will be made available online after the pageant. If you provide your email on the registration, we will send you the link.

PARENT VOLUNTEER ROLES
One parent from each family is expected to volunteer during one of the performances on December 24. We need your help to supervise cast rooms, assist with costume changes, and help with other behind the scenes tasks.

Special Note: Parents of youth cast as Mary and Joseph are automatically assigned as the “Parent Chairs” for rehearsal and pageant performances. Parents of kings and angels are also expected to take lead parent roles (room parents, ushers, prompters) as given their years of experience, they are able to help coach “newer” parents. Thank you for your support.

New this year! Pageant cast t-shirts will be for sale early December and available by the rehearsal on December 23 to wear that day and get your cast and choir signatures. Available to all Unity Church members (a great holiday gift for pageant alumni). Watch for more info on the registration page coming soon.

Sincerely,
Kelley Loughrey, Pageant Director
