Away in a manger, no crib for a bed…….
Does this make you want to get into the Christmas Spirit? Well, come on over to the church on December 10, 2023, for our annual “Bonfire and Caroling” sponsored by the Fellowship Ministry. We will have hot dogs, chips, cookies, and hot chocolate. All you need to bring is your lawn chair and flashlight. There will be gluten free items for those who need them. We will get in the spirit of Christmas singing all our Christmas songs, both sacred hymns and popular secular favorites, so you better watch out, you better not pout, you better not cry, I’m telling you why, Fort King folks are singing this night!! We will begin at 4:30 pm (remember it begins to get dark earlier by then.) We will have printed song sheets this year with the words (no music, just words), Rick will provide the music.
SEE YOU THERE!!!!
