Cross of Glory to hold tree lighting Dec. 13

Come ring in the Christmas season with the congregation of Cross of Glory Lutheran Church at its eighth annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Carol Sing, to be held rain or shine at 5 p.m. on Dec. 13 at 95 Cambridge Drive in Aberdeen.

On top of carol-singing and lighting the church’s Christmas tree on the property’s front yard, revelers are then invited into Fellowship Hall to enjoy home baked sweets and pastries alongside other refreshments provided by Delicious Orchards and Dearborn Market. The tree will remain lit every night through the 2015 holiday season.

“It’s a wonderful time for families and friends,” says Jeremy Samuelson, longtime head of Cross of Glory’s tree lighting committee. “We sing our hearts out every year — our ’12 Days of Christmas’ is not to be missed. Then we light the tree, and head back inside to our fellowship hall for a smorgasbord of treats and sweets.”

Delicious Orchards and Dearborn Market helps supplement the church’s own assortment of home baked treats. To volunteer, or for further information about the event, contact Samuelson at 732-583- 1118, visit www.coglcnj.org, or go to Cross of Glory Lutheran Church’s Facebook page.
