27th Annual G.A.B.B. Golf Tournament
Join us for the Oakham Congregational Church’s 27th annual G.A.B.B. Golf Tournament at Quail Hollow Golf & Country Club on Monday, August 5, 2024! The GABB Tournament was originally started in 1995 as the Bob Tyck Memorial Golf Tournament. In its early years it helped a family in need, but over the years became a tournament to benefit local charities. In 2023 the tournament returned after a 3-year pandemic hiatus now also in honor of Gretchen Nahkala, Art Gray, and Bob Lajoie, who were always present and instrumental to the great success of the original Bob Tyck Tournament. Last year we were able to distribute more than $15,000 to area charities!

Festival of Lessons & Carols
On Sunday, December 17 at 7:00, we will mark the 27th time we have presented the Festival of Lessons & Carols in Oakham! This year we will perform the cantata, “Go Sing It on the Mountain,” by Pepper Choplin.
Beautiful and uplifting songs (many with musical references to well-known carols and hymns), accompanying scriptures and a lively score will get you in the mood for Christmas. The choir is composed of church choir members, Quabbin students and community singers.
The performance will be followed by a reception in Fellowship Hall. Donations are gratefully accepted in support of the Oakham Congregational Church music program and Quabbin Pro Musica.

Our Sunday School Christmas Pageant will be held during the morning worship service next week, December 17th. This is always a fun and joyful service! The only practice for the pageant will be Saturday December 16 from 8:30-9:30. Sunday School will not meet from December 24th through January 7th, but will resume again on Sunday January 14th.
