Christmas Sing-A-Long
I hear YOUR VOICES, people of GOOD PEOPLE PARISH, singing Christmas hymns of praise to our God in our church on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14 at 6:45 PM in the church.
Children of all ages are invited to come and learn to sing some of the wonderful and beautiful Traditional Christmas Carols like "The First Noel" and "O Come O Ye Faithful." We'll sing a couple of fun songs like "Jingle Bells" and "Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer."
Parishioners are invited to come together and sing in praise of God for the gift of Jesus whose birth we will celebrate this year on Monday, December 25th.
Parents, Grandparents, and Adults of every age are invited to help guide the children in this festive sing-along with Hot Chocolate and Candy Canes served by the Knights of Columbus in Fellowship Hall afterward.
