Blackburn College To Celebrate Holiday Season With A Special Christmas Musical Event December 5

CARLINVILLE - Blackburn College will celebrate the holiday season with a Lessons and Carols service on Sunday, December 5, 2021, in Clegg Chapel on the college campus. The annual Christmas at Blackburn musical event will start at 7:00 pm and includes performances from Blackburn Voices and College Choir and accompaniment from Dr. See Tsai Chan, adjunct professor of Music at Blackburn. There will also be nine scripture readings presented by students, faculty, staff, and community members.
