Join in the Fun! Come Carol with Us!

In Victorian England, the tradition of visiting people’s houses and singing—a practice known as wassailing—was adopted for Christmas and became synonymous with “caroling.” While we may not have wassail, we can certainly visit and sing in celebration of Christmas and to bless our community. This year, in partnership with Welcome COS, we want to go outside of our own northern side of the city and engage a community where many of our city's newly arriving refugee families live. Sienna Place Apartments is comprised of 20 apartment buildings on 11 acres with over 900 residents!Come join us as we bring the joy of music and celebration while engaging with a community that is made up of so many different people from refugees to those who are struggling economically.

What to expect: Anyone is welcome, including children! We’ll hand you a booklet with all the words, and walk along the apartments, singing to the residents. They know we are coming, and we expect to make new friends along the way.

What to wear: Please dress in WARM Christmas-themed outfits!  We want to be joyful and celebratory, but also know that the weather can be cold at this time of year so please plan accordingly.
