Supper and Caroling

Posted on December 9, 2011 by admin

100_1811 Our December Fun Night activity was a night of Christmas caroling. About 20 of us met at the church on Friday, Dec. 9, for a supper of soup, bread and salad. After tuning up, we headed out to sing at the Harrison Regent Senior Living Center, the Wasatch Care Center, and the Fire Station on Harrison Boulevard. We returned to the church for cocoa and dessert. It was fun! See more photos
