Sunday Sermon-in-Verse at First Church

In fine form after last Sunday's Candlelight Christmas Concert, singers and bell ringers of First Church present more Christmas music at Sunday's 10 o'clock service. Highlighting the service, however, is the Rev. John Hall's could-be-annual sermon-in-verse, "Miracles We Never Wanted," a humorous reflection on life's journey.

Last Sunday's concert was well attended, despite the rain, and featured bright and solemn carols and anthems, several acrobatic bell choir selections, with arpeggios and runs to bring Elvis to his knees; and a gorgeous spread of holiday treats and eats at the reception afterward.

Watch for more information on the Christmas Eve service in the barn at Daniels Farm, 874 Millbrook Rd. (5pm, Friday), the Christmas Eve Candlelight service (10pm at First Church), the annual free Community Christmas Day Dinner (12-2pm), and other holiday events at First Church, 190 Court St., with ample free covered parking at the municipal parking garage opposite.
