Community Service

Yesterday we took our band and choir to the Carillion Nursing Center in Huntington for our annual Christmas Concert. We have been going there for three years now. The students get a feel for how fortunate they are to be well and with their families during the holidays and they enjoy bringing smiles to those who are less fortunate.

We did a series of Christmas songs and ended with a medley of Christmas Carols that had most of the ambulatory residents up singing and dancing. In the spring we will be taking the group to a senior center in Nassau County for a Spring Concert.

Part of the education process must include teaching the students the value of what they already have and the importance of "giving back". Community service is an important component of the educational process here at Upper Room.

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,
