MILLBROOK — Actor Ken Cheeseman captivated an audience at Lyall Memorial Church on Sunday, Dec. 18, with a reading of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” He was accompanied by Amy Attias on the violin. The reading took place next to a lighted Christmas tree, with a roaring fire on the grate, and was followed with hot beverages and homemade cookies. Is there a better way to prepare for the holidays? According to Rev. Thomas Fiet, we can look forward to a resurrection of the wonderful concerts and events held in the past at Lyall Church. The event was free and open to all, but donations were accepted with gratitude.
