The Blue Ridge Big Band will be presenting a holiday concert titled “A Vintage Christmas” on Sunday, December 14 at 4:00 pm in the Community Room at Long’s Chapel. The concert will feature Christmas music from the late 1940’s into the early 1950’s in a radio show setting. The band and singers will be performing musical selections including “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Silent Night,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and “White Christmas.” The concert is a free event and open to the public. We will pass the hat to help with band expenses. Come enjoy a fun evening of music and please bring a friend.

December 21 6:00 pm, Sanctuary Our Blue Christmas Service on December 21 offers a quiet, candlelit time of brief reflection and hope for those who find the season difficult due to grief, loss or other burdens. On this longest night of the year, we gather to rest in God's light and comfort together.

Hey LCKids and families! With Christmas right around the corner, our children are preparing a special Christmas program, and there is still time for your children to participate in "The Joy of Christmas". Even though the meals are ending for the season, we will still rehearse on Wednesdays, Nov 19, after the packing party, Dec 3 during the Festival of Tables, and Dec 10 and Dec 17, and on Sundays at 10:15 am. The final rehearsal will be Saturday, Dec 20, at 10:30 am in the community room.

We will also be participating and singing at the Christmas Tree lighting in Waynesville on November 22, meeting at the courthouse for caroling at 4:30 pm, and at 5:20 pm at the Police Station, and singing at the Tree Lighting. For a successful and delightful program, we need the commitment and support from all of our LCKids, Staff, Volunteers, and Parents. Help us share the love of Jesus and the Joy of Christmas.
