Newtown Quaker Children’s Christmas Program to Feature “Grinch” by Dr. Suess

The children of Newtown Quaker Meeting will present a special one hour Christmas program featuring selections from the TV Special based on “How the Grinch stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss on Sunday, December 20, at 11:00 a.m. at the historic Friends Meetinghouse at 219 Court Street. www.newtownfriendsmeeting.org.

For this special day of programs, the traditional Quaker meeting for worship gathering in silent expectation will be held at 10:00 a.m.

Nikki Loscalzo of Yardley, Clerk of the Children’s Education Committee, said, “The young people are very excited about our program this year. We have thirty children in kindergarten through eighth grade participating in the Christmas Pageant. The children have had a lot of fun rehearsing. There will be readings and songs from the TV Special ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ as well as cello, piano and violin solos.”

Nikki said the children have also been busy wrapping kitchen utensils to give to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen and collecting gloves and hats for the Mercer Street Friends Center in Trenton.

Following the children’s program, there will be finger food for everyone at noon in the Gathering Room of the historic Meetinghouse. The public is invited to attend all events. Childcare is provided. Newtown Friends Meeting was co-founded in 1815 by Quaker minister and artist, Edward Hicks.
