Hanging of the Greens and Christmas Caroling

Date: Saturday, December 3, 2011
12:30 - 3:00 pm - Decorating
3:00 - 5:00 pm - Caroling

Everyone is invited to join the Spiritual Life Commission in decorating the Sanctuary with evergreen wreaths, garlands, Christmas tree and window candles from 12:30 to 3:00 PM.

Do you want to get some exercise? Have fun? Bring joy to others? Experience the true 'meaning of Christmas'? Then plan on being part of the annual Eliot Christmas caroling event on Saturday, December 3 from 3 - 5 p.m. We divide into two groups, leaving Eliot promptly at 3 p.m. One group will go to Evans Park and the other to Golden Living/Chetwynde where Ginny Schock will be our hostess. Then each group will also go to several homes of our less Ïout and aboutÓ members, finishing no later than 5 p.m. The song sheets have been updated and we are endeavoring to add music packets so those with instruments can accompany the singers more easily. Caroling is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season. No singing skills are necessary. Children of all ages are most welcome to participate. Questions? Call Susan Nason at 617-965-1811 or e-mail at nasonse@aol.com.
