   Christmas Caroling at Holly Manor - 2005
 
caroling at Holly Manor
Nearly every December, the adult choir of College Church meets at Holly Manor in Farmville on a Saturday afternoon. They convene in an activity room where an appreciative audience of residents is assembled. The choir sings a concert of a capella carols from the hymnal, then walk through the halls singing carols to residents in their rooms.

This year, several members of the Hampden-Sydney men's chorus (and their director, Dr. Frank Archer) joined the choir for the afternoon, and a happy, festive time ensued. In addition to singing a longer concert in one activity room, the group sang a shorter concert in another activity room, and caroled through all three divisions of the nursing facility, including the new Ray Moore Rehabilitation Center. Under the high, reverberating ceiling of that space, one resident commented that the carolers sounded just like the Mormon Tabernacle choir... compliments the likes of which will keep the group returning year after year!

"Glory to God in the highest,
and and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased."
