UPDATE: Governor Reynolds is requiring masks during all campus events and activities where more than 25 people are present through December 10. See the full announcement here.
As we churn closer to the end of 2020 and reflect on a year filled with challenges, we still have so much to be thankful for. In a normal year, we would be anticipating our Festival of Carols concert, an annual tradition at Faith each December. Because of the events of 2020, we have changed the traditional Festival of Carols concert to a Thanksgiving Concert, which will be held Friday and Saturday, November 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. in the Nettleton Center.This concert will feature a variety of sacred selections presented by the Chorale, the Chamber Choir, the Handbell Ensemble, and the Faith Community Orchestra. Similar to Festival of Carols events of the past, there will be multiple opportunities for congregational singing.To better manage the number of guests in attendance for social distancing, we will be using a free ticket system for all attendees. Guests will reserve groups of five seats, which will be either five chairs or five spots on the bleachers, all physically distanced in the auditorium. The ticket five-packs are now available! Seating will not be assigned but will be chosen on a first-come, first-served basis the night of each event.More information, along with health and distancing guidelines, can be found on our Thanksgiving Concert event page. Tickets can be obtained electronically through this link. Please remember that tickets will be required for entrance and that seating will not be assigned but on a first-come, first-served basis the night of each event. Our Thanksgiving Concert will also be livestreamed for those who are not able to attend.
