Stations of the Nativity: An Advent Journey
The music ministry of Georgetown Baptist Church is excited to invite you to join us for a very special Christmas musical celebration, ¨Stations of the Nativity: An Advent Journey.¨ Stations of the Nativity is a unique Covid-adjusted experience featuring many of our beloved musicians and ensembles leading us through the Christmas story. You and your family cluster (up to 8 individuals) can sign up for a time on Friday, December 18 or Saturday, December 19, to travel through the church building station by station led by a shepherd-guide to hear the Christmas story told through music and narration. The journey will last approximately one hour (six stations). We are also making plans to record the performances and post them online for those who prefer not to attend in-person.
Sign-ups for Stations of the Nativity are LIVE now at the link below!

You MUST be registered to attend.
WE HAVE REACHED OUR ESTIMATED CAPACITY FOR REGISTRATION.
ALL REGISTRATIONS WILL NOW GO TO A WAITLIST.

About
The Toy Store is a ministry of Georgetown Baptist and Gano Baptist Churches. We offer this ministry to families who would benefit from a reduced cost on Christmas gifts for their children but still want to purchase their own gifts. As local churches, we love our Georgetown community and deeply believe that God calls us to show love, respect, and dignity to our neighbors. God loves you, and we hope you feel God’s love in this ministry.
Shopper Safety & instructions
This year’s store will look a little different from previous years. In order to limit numbers in our store and maintain safety, we will limit our store to one family/group at a time.
Shoppers must wear masks.
Volunteers will wear masks and sanitize the store periodically.
Someone from the church will be in touch with each shopper the week before the store to assign an arrival window. This will help space out the crowd. Times are negotiable.
When you arrive for your shopping time at Georgetown Baptist Church, please park in the small rear lot on Clinton St.
*Clinton St. is a one-way street. Enter from Broadway and look for directional yard signs.
Remain in your car.
A volunteer will come check you in at your car and lead you into the building when we are ready for you.
Adults only if possible during shopping.
The Toy Story is completed for the 2020 year. Thank you.

Treat Street: A Drive-Thru Halloween Experience
Join us on October 25 for a Trunk or Treat alternative.
Dress up in your Halloween costume & drive through our parking lot of decorated trunks.
Receive pre-packed candy bags at no-touch drive-thru stations.
Vote for your favorite trunk.
Listen to festive tunes on 93.7FM along the way.
The Route
Treat Street is located in the church’s large parking lot, located between the church and Georgetown College.
The Drive-thru begins at the Mulberry St. entrance to the parking lot.
Join the line on College street, heading west toward Broadway. Traffic attendants and lawn signs will help direct you through the route and invite you to tune into 93.7FM for music and instructions.
Volunteers
We need your help…and your trunk! There’s lots of ways for everyone to help make Treat Street a fun and festive time.
Register to decorate your trunk. (You will not be passing out candy from your trunk)
Register to direct traffic.
Register to pass out goody bags at designated treat stations. (These bags will be pre-packed, and you will be asked to wear a mask and gloves.)
Contact Pastor Heather to help pack goody bags in advance. (A good option for those who are staying home.) Email heather@georgetownbaptist.org or call the office.
Donate pre-wrapped candy. Bring donations to the church breezeway (off the small back parking lot) by October 22.
See our FAQs for more volunteer details!
Safety Measures
We want everyone to be safe this Halloween. That’s why we are doing all that we can to create a festive, socially distanced Halloween experience. Our safety measures are one way we follow Jesus’ command to love our neighbor as ourselves. Here’s the plan:
All volunteers will be masked and socially distanced.
No candy will be handed directly from trunks to children. All goodies will be pre-packed in bags and handed to cars on trays in a no-touch drive-thru fashion.
Any volunteer handling goodies, whether packing or passing out bags, will wear a face mask and gloves.
Trunks will be spaced out with empty parking spots between all cars.
Participants are asked to remain in their vehicles as they drive through Treat Street.
