The Friendly Singers

We held our annual Christmas Celebration on Sunday December 17 after Meeting for Worship.  We heard about the American Friends Service Committee, and why we decorate our Christmas tree with donations to AFSC.  The First Day School put wrapped boxes representing "simple gifts" under the Christmas tree - things like helping a neighbor shovel snow - and other adults in the meeting added their own simple gifts.  We heard "The Giveaway, a Christmas Story".  Our talented musicians sang and played: the Friendly Singers, "Christmas in the Trenches" (about informal truces between opposing forces on Christmas Eve during WWI), Stille Nacht, and Everything is Cool, all interspersed with carol singing by the entire meeting.  As always, we had a great time, and, as usual, we had a wonderful array of treats to eat afterwards!
