Christmas Eve services different this year
ALPENA, Mich.– Many Alpena churches are proceeding with their new normal for Christmas Eve service.
The First Congregational United Church actually recorded their Christmas eve service *tonight.*
The plan is in line with their strategy for keeping congregants safe.
The Church’s weekly services have been online–only for several months.
Reverend Dr. H. Robert Case said people will be able to watch the service as early as Thursday morning.
Many other churches, however, are taking another route.
All Saints Catholic Parish will be continuing with its restricted capacity service.
Members of the Parish can call ahead to reserve a place. Those who can’t make it in person can watch the livestreams.
The Church will be streaming its 11:00 P.M. Christmas Eve service and its Christmas morning service.
Father Joe Muszkiewicz told us about conversation he had with his bishop regarding the Parish’s response.
New Life Christian Fellowship and Resurrection Lutheran Church both told us they have plans for limited–capacity services as well.
