Advent Lessons and Carols, Sunday December 14, 3:30pm

Email from John M:

Please pass this on to the St. Bridget Men’s Ministry!

Allen Bean suggests that we all consider starting our evening on Sunday, December 14th at 3:30 with some beautiful music and songs for Advent. It will put us in the right mood before the evening Christmas Party! Allen noted that the St. Bridget choirs and song groups have been working very hard to make this a special concert.

Thank you!
