Church of the Apostles,
Some of my favorite Christmas memories are of singing - hymns at church, carols in school concerts, and family favorites around the piano in our living room. After reading Luke 2 on Christmas Eve, our family would sing 'O Little Town of Bethlehem' before opening the gifts under the tree. In recent years, other traditions have taken hold - Charlie Brown's Christmas, the Rob Mathes Christmas Concert, and the Apostles' Christmas Pageant.
Our pageant this year will be held during our 10am worship service on Sunday, December 23, so come and sing along with the children in our parish. And before that Sunday, we have 2 other chances to lift our voices in joyful praise. Join Amy Dominguez and D.C. Washington at The Source Coffeehouse for Candlelight Carols this Friday, December 14 (see details here). Then, on Sunday evening, December 16 join the Sarris family for a night of caroling through their neighborhood (details).
We will finish this Advent season with our Christmas Eve service, Monday December 24 at 5:00pm. You can be sure, there will be lots of singing of Christmas carols and hymns. I can't wait!
Blessings!
