Do you like to sing? Especially the memorable and special songs of the holidays? South China Community Church invites you to join them during the month of December! They’re providing several opportunities for singing and enjoying carols and music selections of the upcoming holiday season. You don’t have to be a church member or attendee – we just want to share the special music of Christmas with the community.
The first Sunday in Advent is November 30. We have an Advent Choir this year and would love to add your voice to our chorus if you enjoy singing carols. Rehearsals will be held on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the church sanctuary, on December 4, 11 and 18. The Advent Choir will sing during 10 a.m. Sunday Services on December 7, 14 and 21, as well as at the Christmas Eve Service (see below). Copies of all music will be provided for you, along with recordings of the selections they’ll will be singing. Please call Mary Matteson at (207) 215-6931 for further information.
On Tuesday, December 9, we will host our annual Sing-a-Long at 1:30 p.m., in Memorial Hall. This fun activity is a chance to gather informally and sing all types of holiday music together. They will provide music song sheets and “bell necklaces” to add to the merry making. All ages are welcome; light refreshments will be available. In case of snow, they will gather on Wednesday, December 10 (please call Debbie Stowe at (207) 462-2175 or Mary Matteson at (207) 215-6931 in case of weather concerns on Tuesday, December 9.)
On Saturday, December 13, please join them for their monthly Blessed Breakfast from 8 to 10:00 a.m. Breakfast includes eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits with sausage gravy, pastries, fruit and a variety of beverages. In addition, Santa Claus will be in attendance and holiday music will be provided.
The Christmas Eve Service will take place at 6 p.m., on Wednesday, December 24. This special service is a wonderful time to celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus with family and friends as they worship and sing together.
Music during the month of December is a joyous time at the South China Community Church. Please come join them!
