On Saturday, January 31, 2026, we will be hosting our annual Candlelight Dinner. This year, the menu will incorporate French and German influences and, as always, will include both meat and vegetarian entrées. After the dinner, prepare to be delighted by Over the Piano and Other Songs of Love, a cabaret that takes the audience through all of the emotional complications and exhilarations associated with romance. Emily Dozier, Nicole Dieker Finley, Larry Finley, Emmett Frohn, Jillian Miller, Dave Samuels, and Gerry Wagner are preparing a setlist that includes everything from Johannes Brahms to Jason Robert Brown, with a few surprises in between.

The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. with appetizers served in the Heritage Room. For the cocktail hour, we will provide punch, please bring your own libations. At 6:30, dinner will be served in the Garden Room, and the cabaret will start at 8:00 in the Church Sanctuary.

Dinner reservations are $60 per person and can be made by contacting Mike Flanagan at (217) 257-1413 or ml@flan3.net.

The cabaret is open to all with a freewill donation.
