Songs of the Season
Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29 at 7:30 pm
Saturday, November 30 at 4:30 pm
We invite you to join us to “kick off” your Christmas season with Songs of the Season at St. Mark’s. There are so many wonderful songs of the season including traditional carols, some popular songs people will know well, and, naturally, some for “kids”. With the music we have incorporated beautiful passages about love, peace and joy. We look forward to sharing this gift of music with you this advent season. Tickets will be on sale as of November 1, from the church office and as usual will be by free will offering (suggested price $20 per person). This is a St. Marks’ fundraising event.
