“Ahavah,” which means love in Hebrew, is a ballet that tells a story of hope in the midst of despair.  An imaginative retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth, this production has been running for 19 years, and is now becoming a local Christmas tradition in Middletown, CT. Ahavah explores the mystery of  Christmas, demonstrating how love can shine brightly even in the darkest of times.  This is a magical show for the whole family that will surely lift your spirit!

Come for a casual, uplifting worship service series called Joyful Noise. The liturgy is led by our clergy and the music is led by famed Christian musician and producer Rob Mathes.

Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church in Old Lyme is pleased to host Decoda, an affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall, in concert on Sunday, November 24, at 2:00pm.

They are pleased to offer a FREE formal concert at Saint Ann’s to conclude their week in residence here.
