This year, December 25th is four nights after the Winter Solstice, the night before Kwanzaa, and the seventh night of Hanukkah, as well as Christmas night...making it the perfect evening to hold a “Multi-Faith FESTIVALS OF LIGHT Sing-along, Dance-along Celebration,” co-hosted by Mary Stair and Billy Jonas.

Join members of the Jubilee! Singers with Mary at the piano, and Billy sharing the music of all the festivals of lights, including Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Diwali and Solstice. Bobby Stafford will bring songs of the season from Mahalia Jackson, noting that "from the time I was a little boy, no matter what she sang, I was gonna learn it." Nancy Hayes and Robert Wootton will waltz to seasonal music...welcoming attendees to dance along with them. Everyone is invited to bring finger food to share and their own beverage. Coffee, tea and water will be provided.

Donations of any amount at the door are welcome, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
