Christmas Cantata will return to Yamhill County in December

The Community Christmas Cantata, an annual fundraising event this year benefiting the Yamhill Community Action Partnership food bank, is on tap to return for seven dates in December in the 40th year of the event. “A Thrill of Hope” is the theme of this year’s event, slated to begin Dec. 5 and continue through Dec. 21 at locations throughout the county. Donations will be accepted at each stop of the event this year. The hope of the organizers of the performance is to significantly add to the nearly $391,500 raised during the 2004 through 2025 cantata seasons, organizers said in a release. In Newberg, the groups that perform in the one-hour cantata will make stops at 11 a.m. Dec. 5 at Seventh-day Adventist Church, 530 E. Edgewood Drive, and 3 p.m. Dec. 19 at Joyful Servant Lutheran Church, 1716 N. Villa Road. Other performances are slated for 6 p.m. Dec. 6 at Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1500 S.W. Old Sheridan Road in McMinnville; 7 p.m. Dec.
