Christmas Caroling in December!
December 14, 2026
- Join us Christmas Caroling to share spread some Christmas cheer! We carpool to 9 group homes in South Orange County to sing a handful of classic Christmas carols and visit with the people we support. No singing experience necessary! We welcome carolers of all ages.
- We meet at St. John's at 12PM at St. John's to handout driving directions and pray before departing.
If you are unable to join us for caroling, please consider writing and sending along some Christmas cards to be delivered during our caroling event! We ask for sets of 9 cards from your family or group sharing Christmas cheer with our dear friends. Cards can be addressed to “AbleLight” or specific home/resident names. Please reach out to Emily with any questions or to RSVP.
AbleLight (formerly Bethesda Lutheran Communities and Good Shepherd Lutheran Communities).
We currently support nine group homes with a total of around 50 residents. The adults we fellowship with experience a wide range of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities while still sharing their huge hearts for the Lord. We celebrate the gifts and talents that make each individual unique, knowing we are each “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139). This is a local mission ministry. You can participate as an individual, group, or even a whole family can participate together!
If you or your groups are interested in hosting or helping to plan one of these events, please reach out to Jessica Holt or Emily Remsen to start the planning process.
