Northern Community Internet Holiday Event

Join us to celebrate the holidays! The Northern Community Internet Quad Cities Community Journalism Club has been meeting monthly since July. We're a group of like-minded people interested in using technology to build community. Sure we can Google and get results in China, but how do we find each other, learn about local projects? Come learn about the project and meet the people who want to use e-tools to build community at the local level.

Date: Wednesday, December 17
Time: 6:00 pm
Place: La Cocina and Cantina, 407 Chestnut Street, Virginia
Cost: Entrees from $9 to $20

Bring a spouse, s/o, friend! Questions or RSVP to Barb or Les at 218-744-2000 or e-mail barb@bonsaitea.com.

Nine Lessons and Carols at Gethsemane Lutheran Church Dec. 14

Nine Lessons and Carols will be celebrated on Sunday, Dec. 14, 6:00 pm, at Gethsemane Lutheran Church, 901 S 4th St., Virginia. After the service, all are invited to join in for fellowship with coffee and cookies. A freewill offering will be accepted that will go to support North St. Louis County Habitat for Humanity.

Come and listen to special music from Gethsemane Senior Choir, Joyful Noise Choir, Our Savior’s Choir, Messiah Choir, Holy Spirit Choir, Hope Presbyterian Choir, The Divas, The Three Gusties, Sue by Two, The Choralaires, and The Psalm 100 Trio.

This service of Lessons and Carols comes from the King’s College in Cambridge, England, and its origin dates back to the 1880’s. The birth of Christ evoked and still evokes song, and everyone is invited to join in the Christmas carols, so sing with thanksgiving and joy for the coming of the Savior.
