FREE T-SHIRT $ With any 25 purchase (Offers valid through 12-24-15) markets in Germany is held. The market, which dates back to medieval times, has strict rules that preserve its traditional flavor. Patrons enjoy hot mulled wine in mugs as they peruse the craftsmen’s stalls, contributing to a convivial season’s spirit. The choir also performed at Austria’s famed Melk Abbey. “It’s the most stunning place I’ve ever seen in my life, really,” said King. “The acoustics in there are incredible.” For King, one of the highlights of the trip was something distinct from the mighty pal- aces and bustling markets — it was a per- formance at a small, community church not unlike her home church in Sisters. The choir sang in the balcony at Trinitatiskirche Pfarre Hutteldorf Church, then came down to the floor to sing some more. The pastor was so delighted to have them there that he cut his sermon short so the choir could enjoy a Christmas bazaar (replete with good- ies) set up in the church basement. This is the fourth choir trip for the Sisters singers. They do a tour every couple of years, raising funds for the trips in the off-year. King says the trips are an outstanding opportunity to build a team. The Sisters community can get a taste of the choir’s offerings from their most recent adventure. Each Sunday they will perform songs they sang in Vienna, culminating in two Christmas Eve services on December 24, at 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. On Christmas Eve, the choir will sing “Patapan”; “Good News, Amen!”; “O, Holy Night”; “Alleluia”; and “Joy to the World/O Come All Ye Faithful!” King says they will also sing “Kling Glockchen Kling” in German. 541-549-2059 216 W.
