Ebbert’s annual Santa Lucia Pageant is coming up on Saturday, December 13th at 6:00 pm.

The pageant is inspired by the traditional Scandinavian Advent celebration, brought to life by the children of our community—students in K–12th grade are the stars of the show. They’ll share classic Advent and Scandinavian tunes in our candlelit sanctuary, followed by coffee, cocoa, and pastries.

This year, we’re also delighted to welcome violinist Alice Blankenship, whose expressive playing will help bring these timeless melodies to life!

We can’t wait to share this beautiful evening with you. Registration for our participants and admission are free.

Kids in K-12th can register here: www.ebbertumc.org/lucia
