SUMMARY:New Church Day Picnic & Pageant
DESCRIPTION:General\n\n\n\n– 6:00 – 7:30 pm – Picnic\n– 7:30 – 8:00 pm – Pageant\n– 8:00 – 8:15 pm – Gifts\n– 8:15 – 10:15 pm – Lighting and Music \nDress Code \nYou do not need to dress up for this event. It will be quite hot and humid so please wear whatever is comfortable (though inside the cathedral is air conditioned). A number of people enjoy wearing New Church colors (red and white). \nSecurity \nWe want to welcome people who are coming for this event; we want to preserve a worshipful sphere during the pageant; and we want to keep people safe. We will have security stationed around the property\, but we also ask you not to leave your valuables (including children) unattended. \n\n\n\n\nPicnic\nBring a picnic and eat and socialize with other people on the west lawn of the Cathedral\, overlooking the valley. Feel free to drive to the parking lot near the lawn to drop off your things. If you are able-bodied\, please do not park in the closest lot. \nFree ice cream (from Tanner Brothers Dairy) will be available to all attendees (1 per person). It will be served from about 6:30 pm in the cloister area. Please do not take it inside. \nPlease put all of your trash in the trash cans around the area. \nPageant\nDoors will open to the nave and preludes will start at 7:15 pm. The service will start at 7:30 pm. \nThe pageant is a series of scenes from the book of Revelation. Some of the scenes can be scary to children. It lasts about half an hour. \nThe Service Will Not Be Live-streamed \nThe pageant will not be live-streamed because we use copyrighted recorded music. However\, you can come and watch the service on the TV in the Social Hall if you can’t find a good seat in the nave. \nOffertory\nThis is a worship service so there will be offertory bowls which will go toward supporting the pageant. \nJoin in the Singing \nThere are two hymns in the pageant and also two short excerpts from Handel’s Messiah. You are invited to sing along with all of it. There are learning tracks for the Messiah excerpts here and there will be sheet music available during the service. \nWe also have new learning tracks for the two hymns in the pageant on the Bryn Athyn Church Music YouTube Channel: \n– “The Lord God Jesus Christ Doth Reign!” \n– “Jerusalem\, the Golden!” \n\n\n\n\nGifts\nThere will be New Church Day gifts for the children in our congregation from infants through 8th grade to celebrate that “the Lord God Jesus Christ reigns\, whose kingdom shall be for ages and ages.” These gifts have been specially selected and will hopefully fill a special use in connecting your family to the New Church.\n\nGifts for all ages will be available for pickup in the Social Hall after the pageant (around 8:00 pm).\n\n\nThese gifts are for the grade that your child just finished.All children (including visitors from other New Church congregations) who are present at the pageant can collect a gift. They must come to receive the gift themselves (or with an adult if necessary). \n\nAnyone picking up a gift for a child\, who is not present\, must wait until all the gifts have been handed out.\n\nChildren who are part of our congregation that were unable to come to the New Church Day celebration\, can pick up their gift on June 22nd or 29th\, after the Cathedral Family Service. Andrea Cranch or Brooke Brown will be there to give your child their gift.\n\nNOTE: Cathedral staff members do not hand out the gifts. If you have questions about the gifts\, please contact Brooke (336-509-4970) or Andrea (215-828-1462).\n\n\n\n\nLighting and Music (8:15 – 10:15 pm)\nAfter the pageant is over\, you are invited to enjoy strolling around the grounds of the Cathedral\, while classical music plays. Ordinarily people are not allowed on the Cathedral property after sunset\, but on the 19th (and for Landmarks in Lights on the 24th) the Cathedral is specially lit and you are invited to stay till 10:15 pm. Once the last piece of music ends\, we ask that you promptly exit the property. If the weather is not cooperating\, we may have to delay or cancel the music.
