The holiday season is upon us once more, and The Bittersweet Christmas Band (Phil Cooper, Kate Early, Margaret Nelson & Susan Urban) will be back with our usual variety of holiday songs from the reverent to the ridiculous.  As the pandemic wanes, some events are in person, and some are hybrid, in person plus online.  Please note that the services at the Unitarian churches are full of music, and do not require any particular spiritual orientation to be enjoyed.  All are welcome!
