WILLISTEAD MANOR TOURS
It’s
the most wonderful time of the year at Willistead Manor! This Sunday and

area designers, members of the Willistead Manor Board of Directors, St. Clair
College’s Interior Design students, and many volunteers have worked together to
bring the magic of the holidays to Windsor’s historic gem. From the Great Hall
on the main floor to the private Dressing Chamber on the second level, each
room is given its very own theme and holiday makeover.

CAROLLING FOR THE DOWNTOWN MISSION
The ladies of
the Central United Church chamber choir, Blessings, will lead Christmas Carolling
as a fundraiser for the Downtown Mission in front of Central United Church on
Saturday, December 5 from 2 to 3:30 and Sunday, December 6 from 10 to 10:45.
Please join the Carollers as they sing well known sacred and secular Christmas

The Downtown
Mission originated at Central United Church in 1972 as a coffee and doughnuts
program for homeless men in downtown Windsor.
The Open Door Lounge grew successfully and in 1975 moved to its current
location at 664 Victoria Avenue, thus becoming the Downtown Mission of the
United Church of Canada that we know today.
Blessings,
Central United’s ladies’ elite chamber choir has been in existence for two
years singing for special church services, such as Remembrance Day, Advent,
Christmas Eve, Easter, and others. They are led by choral director, Sandra A.
Radvanyi and accompanied on piano by Marilynne Wear.
Please join
them at Central United Church on Saturday December 5 from 2:00-3:30 and Sunday,
