The White Lake United Methodist Church in Montague invites all to share in its upcoming Christmas Tree Festival, with the theme “Dreaming of a White Lake Christmas”.
The festival, free to the public, takes place Friday, Dec. 13 from 4-9 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 14 from 3-9 p.m. It will feature decorated Christmas trees of all types and sizes.
Other opportunities during the festival include: a special audio-visual presentation on Handel’s “Messiah” sponsored by the White Lake Chamber Music Society on Friday evening from 7-9 p.m., a “Sounds of Christmas” concert Saturday from 6-8 p.m., a bake sale, craft items, free children’s crafts throughout the event, and, of course, Santa will be in attendance for photos and a chat.
The “Messiah” presentation will feature Robert Swan, retired from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, offering his insights and thoughts on the beloved piece of music. Learn more about Handel, the background of the music, and Swan’s own reflections on the music.
Free-will donations will be accepted to help support UMC’s community outreach programs. For more information, please call Sondra Cross, director, at 232-329-3056.
This opportunity is presented by the White Lake Music Society. They remain committed to bringing great music to the White Lake Area, all of Michigan, and beyond.
