From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
This Saturday at Thammapratheep Church!
Dear Friends,
Christmas is almost upon us! We begin our celebration of the Christmas Season this Saturday at Thammapratheep Church with the All Saints’ Festival of Christmas Carols. Both our choirs, Lannacappella and the All Saints Choristers from YCF, are better than ever before, and it will be a real musical treat as we gather to sing together.
The music begins at 7 p.m. this Saturday and you can find directions to Thammapratheep Church here! (Search for Expat Auto on Google maps or if using Grab!)
Bring your friends and neighbours and let all enjoy this time of celebration. Tickets are not needed for admission, but you can get tickets and posters to print or share below.
Merry Christmas – one and all!
The scripture readings for this Sunday will be Zephaniah 3:14-20, Philippians 4:4-7, and Matthew 1:18-25, and we will be singing the hymns The Angel Gabriel; Of the Father’s Love Begotten; Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent; and Angels we have heard on high!
