Christmas Vigils (Family Lovefeast)
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:
Non-members may request tickets by sending their requests with a phone number and a self-addressed stamped envelope requests to the church office: Lititz Moravian Congregation, 8 Church Square, Lititz, PA 17543. The deadline for non-member requests is Friday, November 15. After that date, all non-member requests may be made at the public distribution.
- Include 1st & 2nd choices for dates and times
- Include your contact information (name & phone number)
- Include a Pre-stamped self-addressed envelope
If you miss the deadline, you may go to the Public Distribution on December 2, use E-Ticketing or make your request in person at the Church Office.
Public Distribution of tickets will take place on Monday, December 2 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall (in the building next to the church). Public distribution will have two options: traditional in-person pickup in Fellowship hall, and E-ticketing via Eventbright, which will be available on our website. Links will be posted on this page on December 2 and will go live at 6:30 pm. Orders through Eventbrite will generate a ticket that attendees can print and turn in or show on a cell phone at the door. Public distribution in Fellowship Hall and electronic distribution of tickets on our website are set for the same day and same time. Links for online requests will be posted on this page of our website.
After the public distribution, requests may be made in person at the church office or online via our website.

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).
