The 25th Annual Victorian Streetwalk, Saratoga Springs
The streets are closed to traffic for pedistrians and carolers to explore musicians, singers, magicians, and other performances such as ballerinas in store windows! There is always a plethora of food and hot drinks. We love to bundle up and stroll through this wonderland!
The Ballston Spa Village Parade
Floats, social and service groups, dancers, and singers march for over an hour down main street Ballston Spa. We park ourselves on the knoll of The First Baptist Church and as soon the parade starts the children run to the street to collect the candy that is traditionally thrown from each float! This delivers on having a "heartwarming hometown feel".
The Lamb of Christmas First Night Celebration @ FBCBS
Directly after the parade we head into the sanctuary of church for a Christmas celebration. This year it was The Lamb of Christmas, a Living Nativity musical celebration of the true meaning of Christmas with our Church choir, women's ensemble, men's quartet, and soloists. Fantastic!
2nd Annual Advent Workshop @FBCBS
I host an Advent Workshop after church to prepare our congregation for Advent through hands on activity, face to face fellowship, and meal sharing. The ten stations of crafts and activities were abundantly visited with joy and laughter. Everyone takes home their homemade items to bless their home or gift to others. The anticipation of Jesus builds and builds!
