JAFFREY
Christmas Eve video service: First Church in Jaffrey, mindful of COVID safety concerns, will have a Christmas Eve video service of Lessons and Carols that will be available via its website, firstchurchinjaffrey.org, on the morning of Christmas Eve so people can sing and celebrate the service at a time that is convenient to them.
Interim Minister the Rev. David Felton will give a Christmas meditation, followed by the service of Lessons and Carols that is a church tradition.
“The community and congregation traditionally flock to the Lessons and Carols service and greatly enjoy singing to the excellent music of Gene Faxon, First Church’s music minister, and the choir of Janet Grant, Joan Epro and Betsy Feiker. Congregational singing in a crowded church simply wasn’t going to be safe this year, much to our regret,” Felton stated. “With this compromise, as one member said, ‘With an in-your-own-home service, my family can sing carols as lustily as they wish!’”
Moderator Carol Hess will produce the video.
