APPC Boar’s Head Feast and Festival
In December, we will be presenting our 2nd annual intergenerational Boar’s Head Festival. We will have a community presentation on Saturday, December 20 at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Tickets for Saturday are $5 (or $15 for families of four or more) which includes dinner.
Tickets will be available in the church office in November. You only need a ticket if you are coming to the dinner on Saturday. Just pick up your numbered ticket and then pay at the door when you arrive for the dinner. There will also be a Freewill Offering to support our music ministries on Saturday evening.
What we need you to do now is sign up in the church office if you would like to participate. What talents and gifts can you bring to this endeavor? Besides singing in the choir, most parts simply require putting on an amazing costume and processing in and out of the sanctuary!
As a reminder, a Boar’s Head Festival is a re-enactment of a medieval tradition dating back to the 1400’s in Europe. The royalty of the European countries would gather to celebrate the birth of Christ. Many carols would be sung, ending with the scene of the Nativity. Afterwards the guests would gather and enjoy a feast together. It was a way for powerful royalty of the day to “meet and greet” each other as they celebrated their Christian faith.
We hope you will join us in celebrating the birth of Jesus in this very unique and “old worldly” traditional way. Please sign up in the church office today!!
