First Congregational Church Invites All to Christmas Sing-Along

The public is invited to "Carols of Christmas," a free sing-along and celebration Tuesday evening at First Congregational Church, 1511 Church St.

Joseph Brachmann, artistic director of Choral Masters, will lead the singing and presentations of the carols.

The musical celebration begins at 6 p.m. in the church sanctuary.
