For as long as any of us can remember, and for as long as holiday remembrances have been recounted, there has been a Christmas program at the Oysterville church.  When there were still children attending the Oysterville School. teachers and students put on a program for the entire town to enjoy.  In more recent years, the Christmas gatherings have been less formal — sometimes almost spontaneous.  But few years have gone by without candles and a bit of greenery and carols sung by the community.

This year the tradition continues bringing with it a bit of the annual Music Vespers programs with a “home-grown” musical group — The Oyster Crackers; a spiritual “master of ceremonies” — Steve Kovach;  Christmas carols from the old hymnals sung by all in attendance;  a reading of the Christmas story from the gospel of Mark by a revered elder of the community, Dobby Wiegardt; and a favorite local Christmas story as told by Tucker Wachsmuth.

All of this will be happening on Sunday, December 17. at 2:00 in the afternoon.  As we say for summer vespers, “Come as you are!”  Enjoy the amazing acoustics of the Historic Oysterville Church as our voices ring in the season.  See you there!
