Christmas Carolling with the Youth Group

Our annual Christmas Carolling with the Youth Group will be on Sunday, December 5th! We will be visiting eight households this year, and as always, we will be ringing the beautiful set of brass hand bells as we sing our carols, so we will be a bell choir as well as carollers! After we return to the church, we will have refreshments and a birthday cake for Jesus. We are leaving the church at 1:00 p.m., so dress warmly and come carolling with us!
