Holiday Music at the Burlington Sculpture Park
There will be holiday music performed by local singers including a sing-along at the Burlington Sculpture Park at 11 a.m. on Saturday, December 18. The event will be roughly an hour long and there is a chance of a special guest.

Christmas Candlelight Service
The Burlington Church of Christ is hosting our annual Christmas Candlelight Service on December 19th at 6:00 p.m. The Candlelight Service is the story of Jesus’ birth told through poetry, story, and song, followed by the taking of communion together in honor of Jesus. At the end of the evening we gather in a circle and sing Silent Night with lit candles signifying the hope we share in Christ and divine spark that is set ablaze in every human heart. The Burlington Church of Christ at 344 Cambridge Street would like to share that all are welcome.
