Virtual “Nativity Hour” good for families
FALMOUTH — Jennifer Runge, director of music ministries for the Parish of the Holy Eucharist (Falmouth, Yarmouth, Freeport and Gray), invites all families to gather, virtually, for a free “Nativity Hour” at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 19.
The event is a presentation of lessons and carols for littles, weaving short vignettes about the birth of Jesus with songs, puppet shows, dancing and instrument play. Participants will be provided with an at-home instrument guide that shows how to assemble instruments using common household items. It is perfect for the youngest parishioners, 0 to age 5, but is designed for families.
“Nativity Hour” will originate from Holy Martyrs Church in Falmouth and be held via Zoom. To register for the free event, visit www.pothe.org/makingmusic or call 207-847-6884. Participants will receive the link to join the event prior to Dec. 19. For more information, contact the parish at 207-847-6890.
