Red & White Dinner and Caroling
Party
On the eve of Sunday, December 18th, we had
our Annual Red and White Caroling party. After
delicious food at this Caroling Party, that was
either red or white, we took to the streets of
Heckscher Drive (mostly), gathering our crew of
motley voices with some great costuming and
assortment of lights (a most wonderful light-up
jacket and a green elf and various light up
necklaces) and sang Christmas carols to people
in the neighborhood. The welling up of emotion,
the wet eyes and the tears I saw time and time
again helped to set Christmas in motion for me.
And the song that I found the most meaningful
somehow was O Little Town of Bethlehem. The
refrain that has continued on for me this week
and been full of wonder is “the hopes and fears
of all the years are met in thee tonight.”
- The Rev. Dr. Nancee Martin-Coffey

Advent & Christmas at Saint George
December was a whirlwind of happy activity and anticipation at
Saint George.  Our church family gathered for wonderful evenings of
shared faith, fellowship and fun - from our Advent Gala through our
Red & White Caroling Party, to our three very distinct Christmas Eve
services.  And we were blessed with having a wonderful service on
Christmas morn - something that only happens every seventh year!
