OUR 12TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE
LIGHTING & CAROL SING - will be held on Sunday, December 15, 2019 @ 5:00 PM. In addition to
the tree lighting and carol singing, everyone will enjoy fresh home-baked
pastries provided by the members of the congregation, and other food and
refreshments from Delicious Orchards and Dearborn Market. The evening will
begin indoors with the Carol Sing and will conclude outdoors with the
lighting of our Christmas tree and Nativity! Our goal is to offer families and
friends an opportunity to gather together to share some of the simple joys of
the Christmas Season, twinkling lights, carol singing, and lots of tasty
goodies. This evening promises to be fun for people of all ages, so everyone is
invited to attend. Thank you and we hope to see you there! -Jeremy Samuelson, Event Chairman
