This year, the annual White Gifts Pageant will be part of the Sunday morning service on December 11 at 10 am. Since the 1930s, Mattapoisett Congregational Church has celebrated the season of Advent with a White Gifts Pageant. After the retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth, donated gifts are brought to the manger. The gifts are wrapped in white paper so that no gift is fancier than the others, and all gifts no matter how modest are equally valued. This year, we will be collecting gift cards from Target or Walmart in the amounts of $5, $10 or $25. The cards will be distributed to local families so that they can purchase Christmas gifts. If you wish to donate, please bring cards in white envelopes to the service on December 11.
“Sing Joy to the World!” is the theme for this year’s Christmas Cantata which will be held on Sunday, December 18 at 10 am featuring the Seaglass Theater Company Quartet of Emma Whynacht, Patrice Tiedemann, Austin Burns, Alexander Breault, the choir of the Mattapoisett Congregational Church and Music Director, Michelle Gordon.
All are invited to both events. For additional information, please contact the church office at 508-758-2671 or mattcongchurch@gmail.com.
