The church staff spent this morning at the CAC, Community Action Center, in Sandy Springs. We learned some amazing things about what is going on in our community and how those in need are being helped on a daily basis. In our discussions with the staff there, they expressed a need for music during their holiday party at Sandy Springs UMC on Saturday, December 18. They would need a group of singers or ringers (or both!) for about a 15 minute session of music between the hours of 1 and 3 pm. Since our rehearsal for Lessons and Carols is earlier that day in the morning at St. Luke's, I thought it would be a perfect time for some of us to take some of our carols to their party. Needy families who have been "adopted" by others receive their Christmas presents at this event along with refreshments and music. Put that date and time range on your calendar and be a part of supporting this important work in our community.
Also, remember that we will be going Christmas caroling on Tuesday, December 21 from 6 to 8 pm. We are always open to suggestions as to where to take the music of the season to those who most need uplifted at that special time of year, so let me know of people and places that could benefit from hearing us sing. We'll meet at the church to carpool and return for some light (but warm!) refreshments following.
'Tis the season!
