1. Why do we need tickets?

Having tickets will ensure that:

• There will be no confusion about “Where should I sit?” as seats will already be assigned;
• Congregations will be able to sit together and, even if they come in separate transportation, they will be able to find each other in the crowd;
• Ushers will be able to direct people to their proper section thus avoiding confusion.

2. Does every congregation need a Ticket Captain?

Yes. This person will distribute the tickets to everyone at the congregation.

3. If I sing in the choir, do I need a ticket?

No, all those serving in the Worship service in some capacity will not need tickets and should not register with their congregation.

4. Does my infant need a ticket?

No. Children ages 2 and under (lap babies/toddlers) who will not need a seat are not required to have a ticket.

5. My family is not affiliated with a Michigan District congregation. Can I bring them?

Yes, by all means! Include them in your family’s ticket count or have them register for tickets at the link above. Make sure to have them select your home church if they want to sit with you and your congregation.

6. When does registration end for groups?

Group registration ends September 5, 2017. If tickets are still available after that date, only open seating will be available. Please note that you may not get to sit with your congregation.

7. How do I reserve tickets?

9. Will the worship service be interpreted into sign language?
