Arnprior:
Take Note: A reading in five parts of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” by talented and enthusiastic readers takes place Saturday from 7-9PM at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 47 McLachlin Street South in Arnprior. In between the staves (or parts) all voices in the room are encouraged to join in for a singing of carols old and new, traditional and not traditional to the accompaniment of a mighty pipe organ. Afterwards, come downstairs for coffee, tea, and goodies sweet and fattening. There is no admission charge for the event nor the treats.
