We Are Christmas
How will you attend? Live or via livestream on YouTube and Facebook?
Kick-off the season with the Musicians’ Circle of Emmanuel Church and their FREE, kid-friendly, concert of Christmas classics featuring our church’s amazing musicians with special guest performers and the annual singing of the 12 Days of Christmas – Emmanuel style. It’s admittedly early in Advent – but we have to get it in before the Salve Regina students start their exams!
And like the old Christmas standard says – we’ll have folks from 1 to 92 (ok, 11 to 88) performing!
After the concert you will be able to support community partners at a Care Fare in the Library …
