Christmas in Christ Chapel, the annual celebration of the Christmas holiday involving the Gustavus Choir, Choir of Christ Chapel, Lucia Singers, Symphony Orchestra, Brass Choir, dancers, and readers, will take place December 4-6, 2015.
Every year, thousands of people from around the world make the pilgrimage to Palestine to celebrate Christmas in the town of Bethlehem. Processions, lights, and music fill Manger Square, the city streets, and the churches. This year, Christmas in Christ Chapel will take you on a journey, joining the global travelers and the residents of Bethlehem, Palestine, to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace and to give voice to our shared hope for shalom, salaam, peace in this world.
Tickets for the Christmas in Christ Chapel service ($30) and for the traditional Christmas Buffet ($25) will be available online at gustavustickets.com. Tickets go on sale starting at noon on Monday, October 12, 2015. You may also reserve tickets by phone (507-933-7520). Credit card payment is required for phone orders. Tickets are non-refundable.
More than 1,100 attend each of the five services at Christ Chapel, and last year, for the first time, 7,500 people viewed the worship service via live stream. Due to the success of the last year’s live stream, we will again offer a live stream viewing option for the Saturday evening worship service. Please be aware that cameras and booms will be in use during the Friday and Saturday services to produce the live stream.
