Getting there. Please enter the church parking lot from Governors Drive. There will be parking attendants to direct you upon your arrival. Handicapped parking is available. Please notify the parking attendant when you enter the parking lot from Governors Drive if you need handicapped parking. Please call to discuss other needs you might have, including the use of a wheelchair. When leaving the parking lot after the presentations, please make only right turns onto Governors Drive and St.
Clair Avenue. This will speed up the exit process for you and those behind you. A Tree for Children. Because young children may not be able to enjoy a full-length presentation of The Living Christmas Tree, we provide an abbreviated version on Saturday morning at am, designed especially for them. The program is much shorter, and does not incorporate items like the candlelight processional, the guest artist, and narrative material. Musical selections are based upon the program repertoire likely most enjoyed by the children.
