Carolers to perform tonight

The sounds of Christmas music will float through St. Joseph on Saturday evening.


The St. Joseph United Methodist Church and the Church of Christ will bring the songs of the season to St. Joseph as they carol through town starting at 5 p.m. today.

The Church of Christ will focus on homes south and east of the church. To participate in the caroling residents can show up at the church around 5 p.m.


St. Joseph United Methodist Church invites the public to have some cocoa at its hot cocoa bar starting at 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Weather permitting, they will be serving under their portico. If there is bad weather they will be inside, down in Jessup-Waters Hall.


Church of Christ will have cookies, cocoa and board games after the caroling.


The event is part of the St. Joseph Christmas celebrations that have went on for the previous two weekends.
