Riley Creek United Methodist Church invites the community to its 51st annual Christmas Carol Sing at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 4. The historic rural church at the bend of Riley Creek will be decorated for the season for the event.

The program will give everyone the opportunity to sing traditional carols together, as well as listen to readings from Scripture about Jesus’ birth, special performances by the Pandora United Methodist Church Choir, Ottawa Saints Peter and Paul Choir and a candle-lighting ceremony. Since 1972, this special service in a little church built by pioneers has provided an uplifting way to get into the Christmas spirit.

The church is located southeast of Ottawa and northwest of Pandora at the intersection of Putnam County Roads M and 7-L (7102 County Road M, Ottawa  OH  45875), across from Putnam Stone Co.
