Hi,

Here is the list of events in December.

• Sat. Dec. 14, 6:00 pm – games night @ Burns Hall for all ages. Bring a game or two or three, a munchie to share, & wear a Christmas sweater if you have one. If you want to participate in the “Yankee swap”, bring something from home that you don’t want anymore, or have too many of already (NOTHING NEW!) and wrap it in newspaper or old wrapping paper. It can be useful or funny.

• Sun. Dec. 15, 11:00 am – regular service @ Upper Kent United Church (Rte. 105 below Muniac, on left going downriver)

• Sun. Dec. 22, 11;00 am – combined church service @ Saint James United in Andover (beside Nissens’ Market)

• Sun. Dec. 22, 6:00 pm – Christmas concert @ the Burns Hall, annual event since 1911. You may perform (both kids and adults) or be in the audience 🙂 We’ll have a carol sing at the end of the concert and then socializing time with tea and cookies (whatever people bring for a little snack) Please let me know if your kids are coming so that Carolyn can “do up” enough bags of candy. Also, please let me know if you plan to do anything in the concert so that I can semi-organize a programme. I can add other things that night.

•Tues. Dec. 24, 6:00 pm – Christmas Eve service @ Upper Kent United Church

•Sun, Dec. 29, 11:00 am – combined service @ Saint James United Church in Andover

All welcome! Please pass the word… Thanks! Darlene
