Countdown to Christmas Concert

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

The Lutheran Church of the Cross is thrilled to announce a free family
concert, COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS CONCERT to celebrate the joy of music this
holiday season. The concert will be on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, at
2:00 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Cross, located at 77 Rockland Street.
The concert is their gift to the community and will feature festive music
with traditional Christmas Carols and contemporary holiday tunes to
entertain all ages.

They are pleased to present “The Victorian Carolers of Boston,” a
well-known professional a Capella quartet, who dress in mid-19th century
(1840’s to 1860’s) clothing. The quartet has been together for many
years and performs all over New England throughout the year. Director and
leader of the quartet Danny Bolton explained, “Our quartet loves to sing
and bring the joy of music to everyone, but Christmas time is our
favorite.”

Also performing is 12-year-old Miguel Ferreira. Miguel taught himself and
began playing the piano at an extremely early age; after church service he
would play the piano in the social hall. With consistent practice and
self-study, everyone witnessed Miguel’s talent grow. Miguel was looking
for a new challenge and so he mastered playing the organ. His mastery of
the organ seems effortless, and everyone, including experienced
professional musicians, music teachers and audiences, are in awe during his
performances. He recently performed a two-hour organ concert at the
Lutheran Church of the Cross consisting of all Bach compositions to raise
funds for a young five-year-old with cancer.

Matt MacDougall grew up singing in the children, youth, and adult choirs of
the Lutheran Church of the Cross, and will be the tenor soloist. Male tenor
soloists possess the highest male singing voices and are in demand by
choirs and professional operas due to their rarity. Matt’s voice is known
for its power and bright, resonant high notes. With a strong background and
study of music, he is still passionately active in the music scene and will
be returning to his hometown church for this concert to the delight of all.

The concert will include a short intermission with light refreshments in
the social hall. There will be opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for a
Thanksgiving basket or a ticket for their Christmas Festival Raffle with
three great prizes.
Celebrate the season of hope, peace, love and joy with the music of
talented local artists and musicians. Let the COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS
CONCERT start your holidays with cheer. For more information email:
admin@crosshanover.org or call: 781-826-5121 .

Where: Leave donations in orange bins outside Sing Explore Create, 33

may have leftover. They will be bagging and packaging it all up.

Shining a light on the service of local veterans

Dear fellow Hanoverians:

Each year we come together as a nation on Veterans Day to honor and
celebrate the hundreds of thousands of brave Americans who have served our
country in uniform. Now more than ever, our veterans need our support. In a
time when our country is divided on so many issues, we can surely all agree
that those individuals who risked everything to protect our country and our
way of life deserve our support and gratitude.

That’s why this year, the Hanover Woman’s Club Juniors and the American
Legion Post 149 Ladies Auxiliary are participating in “Operation Green
Light for Veterans”, an initiative designed to shine a light on the
service of our veterans and their families.

As part of Operation Green Light for Veterans, the Hanover Woman’s Club
Juniors and American Legion Post 149 Ladies Auxiliary will be illuminating
their homes green for the month of November and they encourage individuals
and businesses to join them by changing one light bulb in the entryway of
your house or business to a green bulb. By shining a green light, Hanover
residents let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported.

While this event is focused on Veterans Day and the month of November, the
Woman’s Club Juniors and the Ladies Auxiliary hope it sparks conversation
and encourages support for veterans year-round. This Veterans Day, join
them in shining a light of hope and support. Join Operation Green Light and
turn Hanover green for our veterans.

Green bulbs may be purchased at Curry Ace Paint and Hardware, Amazon, Home
Depot, Lowes and Walmart. For more information, please contact Jeanne
Cianciola at jcianciola@comcast.net or see the attached flyer.
