Learn More About the Fascinating History of Your Favorite Holiday Carols

On Sunday morning, Dec. 31, at the 9:30 am service, Liz Carley, our organist and Coordinator of Music, will present a program with lots of carol singing (by you!) and lots of fun facts (by Liz)!.

• Which carol was composed because of “technical difficulties?”

• Which carol is about someone who was murdered?

• Which carol has been “sanitized” to remove unpleasant references?

• Which carol has pagan images?

• Which beloved Christmas carol is not a Christmas carol at all, but an Advent carol?

• Who started the tradition of carol singing…and when? Under what circumstances?

• Where did the word “carol” come from?

There will be no bulletin and no prelude on December 31. There will be a Deacon in attendance. We will just get together and learn something about our favorite carols… we’ll sing up a storm and have fun.

Won't you join us for this special event to wrap up the celebrations of December!
