Songs of the Season - Provision Living at Hattiesburg
Posted by Radiance PVL on Sat, Dec 10, 2011 @ 07:20 PM
The holiday season at Provision Living's Hattiesburg's community means spirited choir events bringing the sounds of Christmas. Five choirs will perform during December, beginning with groups from some of the residents' local churches, and extending to high school and other community organizations with choral teams.
"Just about 50-75 residents will attend these performances," said Brittney Smithey, activities director at Hattiesburg, "everyone enjoys the singing and piano performance."
While choirs visit throughout the year, Hattiesburg focuses on picking the best of the best in terms of local choirs when it comes to holiday performances.
Music is not the only theme of the season, as Smithey and her team seek to create a warm, comfortable environment around the community. A Christmas feast, to be held this year on December 18th, adds to the holiday festivities, with residents and their families welcome to attend. Provision Living sends out decorative invitations to the families and puts together a spread of food and drink to add to the cheer.
Activities including ornament creation, and decorating help bring together a sense of peace, thankfulness and Christmas spirit.
Not to take away from the holiday theme, but it may be worth mentioning that Hattiesburg is receiving some renovations, incuding a new downstairs bathroom facility and the installation of hardwood floors in some of the resident apartments.
With a burst of cool weather and many activities highlighting the season, it seems Christmas spirit is in the air. Don't assume that means the competitiveness of the weekly Wii bowling tournament is being taken down a notch, though. Wii competition is strong, and many of the residents are stepping it up by taking advantage of the weekly Wii training class, which helps improve Wii skills, or simply offer an introduction to the games.
(Watch out for these Hattiesburg Wii competitors!)
We appreciate the stories and feedback from Hattiesburg, and look forward to learning more about their community in 2012!
