December Events
Our December Artists of the Month are the talented kids from the Sturgis Williams Middle School. Join us in celebrating students in Grades 5-8 who have been working and producing art with different mediums as they explore the Elements of Art through drawing and painting.
Armchair Travelers Book Club
Armchair Travelers Book Club will meet Thursday, December 5th, to discuss Western Novels.
The librarians have a display of their stash and a list of books available by interlibrary loan. A list of these will be emailed to interested readers.
We are looking for your favorite authors for our new schedule beginning in January. If you have one you would like to share, please notify Dorothy Pulscher (dapulscher@gmail.com)
Armchair Travelers is an open book club cosponsored by the Sturgis Area Arts Council and the Sturgis Public Library. It meets at noon on the first Thursday of every month except August in the library’s Lushbough Room.
Ringing and Singing in the Holiday Season
Sturgis Area Arts Council will proudly continue the performance of Christmas music at its 45th Annual Community Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 8th, at 2:00pm. For these many years, church musicians – both bell ringers and song singers – have gathered for this enjoyable community event. The Chapel Bells from First Presbyterian will open the concert, followed by lovely Christmas pieces performed by our local church choirs.
Barry Furze, this year’s combined choir director, has invited instrumentalists from the area to accompany the mass choir number, “Sing Your Praise to God on High,” by Lloyd Larson. This medley is an exciting ending to the concert. With the combination of the many voices and instrumentalists, it will prove to be an audience favorite.
Schedule this event on your calendar, as you won’t want to miss this joyful concert. And to make the day even sweeter, the Meade Music Boosters will host a fundraiser at the Sturgis Brown High School later in the afternoon. High School and Middle School bands and choirs will perform Christmas favorites from 4:00-7:00pm while the audience enjoys a fantastic dessert buffet. Come support our local school performers.
