A Bloomington sing-along tradition for over 16 years explores the true meaning of Christmas along with hot cocoa and cookies!
A Bloomington tradition for over 16 years explores the true meaning of Christmas. Doors open 6:30 pm. The Good Shepherd Band joins musical forces with children’s choir and musicians from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind Bloomington event featuring an eclectic variety of musical styles. Afterwards, there will be homemade cookies and cocoa as well as loads of Christmas cheer for the whole family.
The poster art this year was developed by Ben Crum to highlight the fact that Jesus was despised and rejected by mankind. Aaron Jones, one of the musicians, commented, “The poster has caused just the right amount of stir among the other organizers and their families. The art depicts a young couple, perhaps immigrants, standing outside in the cold rain. One of Ben’s children even tearfully protested, “That’s not Christmas!” after seeing his dad’s design. That’s how I knew he had nailed it. We and our children need to be challenged to look at Christmas in a whole new light.”

This month’s book: Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
One year ago, recent Portland transplant Ellie Oliver had her dream job in animation and a Christmas Eve meet-cute with a woman at a bookstore that led her to fall in love over the course of a single night. But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money.
Finding work at a local coffee shop, she’s just getting through the days–until Andrew, the shop’s landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie’s financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse. But when Andrew introduces his new fiancée to his sister, Ellie is shocked to discover it’s Jack–the mysterious woman she fell for over the course of one magical Christmas Eve the year before. Now, Ellie must choose between the safety of a fake relationship and the risk of something real.
Perfect for fans of Written in the Stars and One Day in December, Kiss Her Once for Me is the queer holiday rom-com that you’ll want to cozy up with next to the fire.

Standard Candles is the third book of the Fractured Galaxy series. Stranded. Alone. With dwindling oxygen supplies and an unfinished navigation program that was a long shot at best, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky must work against the odds—and the clock—if they are to make it home.
But home doesn’t hold out much hope for them. The spaceflight supervisors face the loss of their jurisdiction over the mission and Bravo Crew is fighting a losing battle to stay focused on a rescue effort they can no longer pretend to control.
The astronauts’ natural optimism and practiced ingenuity has kept them alive so far, but you can’t breathe optimism, and ingenuity can’t work miracles. In this crucial finale to the Fractured Galaxy trilogy, Derek, Jacob, and Vicky are determined to make every moment count—before it’s their last.
Phantasmagoric Fruits features light fixtures created by Eskenazi School Assistant Professor, Justin Bailey.
