Whoever you are, you are welcome here.
We hope you'll accept this invitation to come and join in the fun. Church Choir caroling at homes of members On Sunday, December 8th, members of the church choir visited the homes of some of our members to share the spirit of Christmas through the gift of their music.
They then enjoyed dinner out together at East Side Grille in Northampton. Since they were there last year too, the waitress remembered them as the Hatfield choir. She asked them to sing for the staff and the guests which they did to everyone's enjoyment. If you would like to hear our choir, you are always invited to join us on Sundays at 9:30am. The choir will also be singing on Christmas Eve starting at 7:00pm. THANK YOU choir for this wonderful gift. We invite one and all to share in this beautiful concert that has long been a part of the Luminarium tradition.
The concert is from 4:30-5:30pm, which allows plenty of time to get over to Town Hall for the festivities there at 6:00pm. You are then invited back to the church. On the lawn behind the church we will be making s'mores to add to the fun of the fireworks display. We'd love to see you all! |
