NYAPC Carolling

NYAPC will be carolling on Sunday December 9th at 4:00 pm. We will meet at the church and go on together to sing in various places. We will probably start at the Franklin Shelter a few blocks from the church, and then go on to 14th and P street to sing at Whole Foods and other places in that neighborhood.

We really need to have some good strong singers to keep things moderately musical, so please do come out and sing! There are rumours that we will be having some hot mulled cider somewhere along the way.

Our own Martha Davis is organizing this event.
