Children, like all of us, are hungry for a deeper level of meaning. The Christmas story is a perfect way to reach them. Even the subtle inner meanings of the coming of Jesus can be understood by children if they are presented, as we do at this service, with clarity, imagination, beauty, and joy.

A cast of children and adults illustrates the story as Asha narrates, bringing Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem magically to life. Many adults say this is one of their favorite events of the year. Each child should bring a small gift for the Christ child.

You and your family members or friends are warmly invited to enjoy a festive vegetarian banquet in the Ananda Temple. It begins soon after the beautiful Family Service. Celebrate and enjoy each other’s company in an informal setting. Light-hearted entertainment provided between courses. Menu
Purchase your banquet ticket: $20
