OLD LYME — On Sunday, Dec. 5, Catholic recording artist Sarah Kroger will present a special Advent program of music and inspiration titled, Light Has Come, at Christ the King Church in Old Lyme.
The program, which starts at 4 p.m., will also feature noted speaker and author Dom Quaglia, Jr.
The Nashville-based Kroger, a contemporary worship leader in the Catholic church, has appeared at Catholic churches, retreats, and conferences in the US and beyond, including Steubenville Youth Conferences, the World Youth Day in Brazil, and here in Connecticut at St. Patrick Cathedral in Norwich. She has produced four albums of worship music.
Quaglia speaks at parish missions, retreats, conferences, and private events around the US and abroad. His speaking and writing is aimed at helping people of all ages lean further into the Gospel and apply it to their lives. He and Kroger are married.
Light Has Come will be a contemplative afternoon of music led by Kroger, followed by an inspirational message by Quaglia, and then a period of reflection and Eucharistic Adoration accompanied by worship music.
All are welcome to attend this special event, regardless of religious affiliation.
The objective of Light Has Come is to help local people open their hearts in preparation for the coming Christmas season. Admission is free, but a free-will offering will be gratefully accepted to help defray expenses.
Christ the King Church is located at 1 McCurdy Rd. in Old Lyme (Exit 70 off I-95). (Note: face masks are required in church buildings for unvaccinated persons.)
Directions and more information about Light Has Come may be found on the church website or the church’s Facebook page.
