Christmas is a gift of God to be received and shared with joy. Like the beeswax candles we are given at our Christmas Vigils, we receive the light of Christ and raise the candles high to let His light shine not just in us but through us. Our Christmas Vigils allow us to enjoy this most meaningful, beautiful service and to share it with others.
The Christmas Vigil was originally a single Christmas Eve service, but because so many people choose to attend there is now a need for five identical services. Tickets are required to make certain that all who wish to attend are seated safely and comfortably. There is no charge for these tickets—admission is free.
Christmas Vigil Ticket Information:
This year non-members may obtain tickets one of two ways: Mail-in Paper Ticket and E-ticketing. There will no longer be a public distribution event. Please note that there will be no nursery available this year during the Vigil services.
Ticket requests for non-members will be open on December 1st.
Non-members may request tickets by:
- Mail-in / Paper Ticket: Sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to the church office at: Lititz Moravian Church, 8 Church Square, Lititz PA 17543. Include a note with your first and second Vigil choice, along with contact information (name and phone number - this is important in the event we need to contact you with a question on your request). Non-members can mail SASE ticket requests at any time to the church office; however, the office will mail back your tickets in the pre-stamped envelope closer / after December 1st when non-member requests open.
- E-Ticketing: E-ticketing will be available through the website, eventbrite.com. You can access the direct link to Vigils on Eventbrite through our website, which will be open to request e-tickets on December 1st. You may print your ticket at home or simply show your cell phone at the door when entering the Vigil service.
Please do not make requests by phone.

Admittance into the church begins one hour before the service, with special prelude music for the evening Vigils starting about 30 minutes before the service.
We also have a Vigil Service during a regular worship time that requires no admission tickets:
- Family Lovefeast Candlelight Service, Sunday, December 21, at 10:30 a.m.
Due to the limited seating capacity of the Sanctuary, the Board of Elders asks that requests be
submitted only for those who are absolutely certain to use them. The selection of an acceptable
second choice is definitely essential for the Board of Elders to make a fair distribution. If you
cannot attend for any reason, please return your tickets to the Church office for redistribution to
bless another.
If you have a general question or concern, don't hesitate to contact the church office (717-626-8515).
