Green River Carol Sing

Green River Community Church, Guilford VT

The community event started in the early 1960's to raise funds to restore, rebuild and maintain the 185-year-old Green River Community Church.

Traditionally scheduled for the last Sunday before Christmas, the Carol Sing is a mix of familiar carols and scripture, ending with a candlelight version of Silent Night.

Local children will serve as ushers and ring the church bell.

Following the service hot cider and traditional holiday treats will be served in the vestibule.

All are welcome.

The Carol Sing is sponsored by the Green River Village Preservation Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and sharing of the historical, physical and community resources of Green River Village
