Christmas Tableaux

Friday, 24 December - 5pm

Back to News

On Christmas Eve, at 5pm we will be gathering to watch a short video of readings and scenes from the Christmas story acted out by members of our community. You can attend in-person or on Zoom.


COVID Protocols

Before you come on Christmas Eve, please try to fill out the required Health Screening Questionnaire and don’t come if you have COVID symptoms. If you can’t figure out how to do it, we can help you with it when you arrive.

You will also be required (as usual) to wear a mask the whole time, socially distance from other family groups, and sanitise your hands.


What If I Can’t Watch at That Time?

Here is the video we made this year:

Also, here are are some other great tableaux videos from other years and other locations around our church that are already available.

2020 New Church Westville Tableaux Video

In 2020 we recorded a Christmas Tableaux video. It’s about 30 minutes long and contains music.

You can watch it on YouTube or, if you want to be able to download the video to a device so that you can watch it somewhere where you don’t have great connectivity, here are three options, with their file sizes:


2021 Bryn Athyn Church Children’s Tableaux Video

This video, made by the Bryn Athyn Church, is a combination of still images of children acting out the scenes, music, and readings. It’s about 11 minutes long and very nicely done. You can find it at https://brynathynchurch.org/worship/childrens-tableaux-video/


2021 New Church Buccleuch Christmas Pageant Video

Our sister congregation in the Joburg area, New Church Buccleuch, did their Christmas Pageant on the 5th of December. This video is the recording of the livestream of their service. It is about 18 minutes long and contains scenes from the Christmas story and a brief family talk from Pastor Glenn Alden.
