The Press will publish an occasional list of upcoming Christmas programs.

If your church, school or organization is planning a special program such as a concert, play or live nativity for Christmas or the holidays that's open to the community - in addition to regular Christmas services or individual classroom projects - The Press would like to know about it.

E-mail information about the event, including date, time, place, address, cost/donations, a description of the event, contact information and other important details to bwalker@cdapress.com.
