This will allow everyone enough time to come to shul with their Family, megillot and costumes. Once Shabbat is out (6:27) everyone should say "ברוך המבדיל בין קודש לחול" prior to doing מלאכה (work forbidden on Shabbat). Ma'ariv followed by Megillah Reading will begin at 7:00 PM. Following Megilla reading, havdala will be made in shul.
