Watertown Doctor & Singers Carol for Patients at Local Hospital on Christmas

By |

The Cardiotonics performed for patients at Brigham & Women’s Hospital on Christmas. Among those sharing the cheer was Watertown’s Dr. Thomas Michel, who played his accordion. Patients at Brigham and Women’s Hospital received some Christmas cheer this year when a group of carolers paid them a visit, including a doctor from Watertown. Thomas Michel is a familiar face, and voice, to visitors of the Watertown Free Public Library in warmer months. He often gathers fellow musicians on his porch (which overlooks the parking lot) on weekends for a good song.

Grace Chapel Watertown Hosting Pair of Christmas Eve Services

By |

Grace Chapel Watertown announced two Christmas Eve services at the church located at 525 Main St. in Watertown. Christmas tells the story of silence punctuated by sound — from a voice crying in the wilderness, to a baby crying in a cattle stall. Through Advent we journey alongside people who wonder about God’s silence; whose world needs heavenly peace; and who long for moments when all is calm, and hope shines bright. At a manger in Bethlehem, we — and they — find the God who came to be with us in seasons of silence and sound.
