(WNY News Now) – This December, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Jamestown invites the community to gather in festive spirit through a variety of events that celebrate the season of light and togetherness.
From caroling to candlelight services, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church at 410 N. Main St. inv Jamestown is offering festive opportunities this season to get involved and stay connected with others. “It’s an important time of year to find beauty and delight in the company of others,” reflects Karen Hewes Suber, Director of Music and Community Arts Integration, “and St. Luke’s celebrates in so many ways to honor the season.”
The Chadakoin Chamber Ensemble will be performing their Holiday Harmonies event in the church on Sat. 12/7, encouraging attendees to wear festive ugly sweaters to this family-friendly concert. Joyful sounds will continue with the Caroling & Pub Crawl on Tues. 12/17 starting at The Pub on Main St., Jamestown: Those who enjoy caroling are invited to join in the group which will travel to four local pubs to sing and make merry!
The darkest time of the year will be marked by the Sacred Songs for Solstice celebration the evening of Fri. 12/20 in the Chapel with easy, fun sing-a-longs from diverse traditions celebrating the solstice and the return of light. For people who find the holidays challenging, the Blue Christmas Service on Sat. 12/21 offers a supportive space at the church.
Finally, the traditional Christmas Pageant (4 p.m.) and Christmas Eve Service (11 p.m.) will be held on Tues. 12/24. The Christmas Eve Service will feature the music of soloists Gavin Card, Victoria McIlvain, and Aaron & Boaz Mecham.
