MEDIA RELEASE__Riley Creek United Methodist Church invites the community to its 55th annual Christmas Carol Sing on Sunday, December 6, at 7 p.m. The historic rural church at the bend of Riley Creek will be decorated for the season.

Since 1972, this special service in a little church built by pioneers has provided an uplifting way to get into the Christmas spirit. The program offers 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. 

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

Weekly Sunday morning worship is at 11 a.m. Kathy Kaufman is pastor.
