Another blog post, this time courtesy of a friend of my parents who also works with them on the Belleisle Bay Watershed Coalition, Diane.
The neighbourhood is invited to attend a carol service at an otherwise retired church, the Bethel United Baptist Church in Lower Kars on Rte 124, right at the curve in the road. Someone leave car lights on so that you can get safely into the church, everyone brings their own candles. There is no electricity.
An ancient oil stove provides a minimal amount of heat, but you need warm winter clothes too. The carols are lovely. The brief sermon is given by a retired preacher. Afterwards people gather at the community hall fifty metres toward the bay for cookies and cider or tea.
I've never been to this event myself but from the way Diane describes it, it sounds like an exceptional experience. I've included the details below. Hopefully I can convince Sara to brave the chill at attend this weekend!
7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13th at Bethel United Baptist Church, Kars.
BYOC (Bring your own candle!) and a little plate of treats to share for afterwards (I wonder if I should bring some warm mulled wine?)
