Tips & Advice

  • Bring the kids along, because a children's nativity pageant is part of the program, along with the community choir and carols.
  • Get there before the program begins so you catch the choir, the benediction and the pageant before the Shady Lady tree is lit.
  • Come ready to sing, since Christmas carols are part of the evening and everyone joins in to light the tree together.
  • Stay through the whole program, because Christmas cookies are served as part of the celebration.
