Our select choir performed at the Carillion Nursing Home yesterday! Senior Nadia Prescott performed a spoken word about the true meaning of Christmas and the singers sang carols with the residents and day visitors.
This is an annual event for us now which we started 6 years ago. It gives Upper Room Christian School students the opportunity to share some joy during the holiday season with these wonderful people. It also creates a strong sense of Thanksgiving in the hearts of the students as they fellowship with people with challenges that can be very hard to overcome.
After the show we go around to each person and shake their hand and talk with them as they share their stories with us. Afterward it's off to Wendy's for some burgers and fries and the solidifying of memories we will never forget!
