AU Ushers in Season with Annual First Night Event

Christmas First Night, an Anderson University tradition, will be held Dec. 3 at the Henderson Auditorium of the Rainey Fine Arts Center. The event features instrumental and vocal music, dance, and theater from the South Carolina School of the Arts, all with an emphasis on the joy of the Christmas season. First Night features lively and heart-warming selections from groups and ensembles, ending with the traditional lighting of the Yule log on the lawn outside the Rainey Fine Arts Center. 

A special collection will be taken at the event for the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home, a South Carolina Baptist home for children based in Greenwood, South Carolina. Those unable to attend but wishing to donate are asked to send donations to Anderson University Campus Ministries at 316 Boulevard, Anderson University, 29621, specifying that the donation is for Connie Maxwell Children’s Home.
