Sunday, December 8th – Doors open at 6:15 pm

 As we come upon the holiday season, we often find ourselves making lists of “presents to buy, things to be done and places to go.” The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is often both daunting and overwhelming. To take you away from all of this we invite you to the peace and tranquility of The Shirley Meeting House on Sunday, December 8th for our 21st Annual Candlelight Vespers Concert. 

Our program will feature music, stories and poems that will allow you to pause and reflect on the true meaning of the season and the joy, peace and hope it offers us all.

Joy – Christmas is the season of joy, of holiday greetings exchanged, of gift-giving and of families united. – Norman Vincent Peale

Peace – What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.—Agnes Mae Pharo

Hope –  Christmas is not a story of hope. It is hope.— Craig D. Lounsbrough

Candlelight Vespers is our gift to the community for their support throughout the year of course any donations are welcome and appreciated. Please join us at the Center Town Hall after the program for refreshments and conversation. 

The Shirley Meeting House is ADA Accessible.
