Guilford welcomes back the return of a special holiday tradition.

Celebrate the season by attending the 60th Anniversary of the Green River Service of scriptures and carols.

This community event started in the early 1960's to raise funds to restore, rebuild and maintain the 185-year-old Green River Community Church. Traditionally scheduled for the last Sunday before Christmas, the Carol Sing is a mix of scriptures and carols, ending with a candlelight version of Silent Night.

Michael Mario will again lead the service and Ned Phoenix will play the historic Estey organ that he repaired this past spring. Following the service, hot cider and traditional holiday cookies and treats will be served in the vestibule.

Attendance is free, but the Carol Sing is a fund raiser for the Green River Village Preservation Trust (GRVPT) which provides the labor and finances to maintain, the Green River Church, the Timber Crib Dam, the Green River swimming areas, and the Green River Meadows conservation area.

The GRVPT is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. It receives no local, state, or federal support and is totally reliant upon volunteer help and individual donations.
