Eastside residents of all ages are invited to welcome the holiday season with favorite carols at the popular annual Sing-A-Long at Kirkland’s Lake Washington United Methodist Church at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19.

“Last year people from age 2 to over 100 attended,” said Heather Arnold, local elementary school music teacher and assistant conductor of the Kirkland Choral Society, who will lead the singing. “Everyone joined heartily in singing these glorious songs.”

“People don’t have to be great singers and, if they don’t want to sing, they can come and listen and enjoy,” said Arnold. “Bring the whole family and start a new holiday tradition.”

Arnold will bring everyone to singing mode by leading a warm-up guaranteed to have children and adults laughing and in their finest voice. A small ensemble from the Kirkland Choral Society will join the audience to give confidence to anyone shy about singing in full voice.

The sing-a-long is free. Donations will be greatly appreciated. All proceeds will benefit co-sponsors KCS and LWUMC. Light refreshments will be served.

The church is located at 7525 132nd Ave. N.E. Kirkland.
