St. Alban the Martyr Anglican Church will be opening its doors for two community events this holiday season.

 

The events include a night of classic storytelling and a warm meal on Christmas Day at 537 Main St. in Glen Williams.

 

‘A Christmas Carol’ reading

 

First, the church will host a dramatic reading of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” on Friday, Dec. 19.

 

The event begins at 7 p.m. and will feature the classic Victorian ghost story paired with traditional carol singing.

 

Organizers describe the evening as a celebration of redemption and goodwill.

 

Admission is free. Voluntary donations will be accepted with all proceeds going to local charities.

 

Christmas meal

 

Looking ahead, the church will also host its annual free Christmas Day meal.

 

It will be served Thursday, Dec. 25 at 1 p.m. and will feature holiday favourites like turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

 

All residents are encouraged to attend, regardless of their circumstances.

 

While the meal is free, residents are asked to make a reservation in advance by calling the church at 905-877-8323 to ensure there is enough food for everyone.

 

Individuals who need transportation to and from the venue can also call the church to make arrangements.
