Old Zion Church, 187 Reifsnyder Road, Lititz, will hold its annual carol sing on Saturday, Dec. 14, at 2 p.m. The historic church will be lit by candles, and fresh greens will be hung.

The carol sing will be led by the Brethren Heritage Singers. This ensemble was established around 1990 and included musicians from Chiques Church of the Brethren and the Lancaster Church of the Brethren. The group has sung in churches throughout Pennsylvania, as well as Indiana and North Carolina.

In addition to leading and accompanying the congregation in singing well-known carols, the Brethren Heritage Singers will perform special Christmas music.

The event offers an opportunity to experience the Christmas season of a bygone era. Old Zion Church was built in 1813 and has been maintained close to its original state without modern conveniences of heat, electricity, or indoor plumbing.

The carol sing is free to attend, but advance reservations are required, with a maximum of six tickets per request. Tickets may be obtained by sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Old Zion Church, P.O. Box 103, Lititz, PA 17543, or by emailing oldzionchurch@gmail.com.

Attendees are advised to dress warmly and bring along a flashlight for reading the sheet music and navigating in and around the church. For safety reasons, if there is ice or snow on the ground on Dec. 14, the event will be canceled; for updates, visit http://www.oldzionchurch.org.
