The interdenominational Community Christmas Sing-Along on Sunday evening, December 14, 2025, showed how the Christmas spirit is infusing Malad Valley. The joy of Christmas carols resounded from the crowd of nearly 200 people in the holiday-themed decorated chapel of the 2nd Ward building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Lorna Brignone organized the event under the direction of David Jensen, Malad Stake President.

Jason Sperry of the Malad Stake Presidency presided at the sing-along. President Jensen gave opening remarks, citing how important music is to the celebration of Christmas. Prayers were offered by David Nielsen of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints-Kingdom of God and Larry Thomas of the Malad City Council.

Mike Brignone gave a short narration about the carols prior to each group of two being sung enthusiastically by the entire audience.  Organists for the program were Lamona Bennett, Jean Thomas, and Carlean Tubbs with Kathryn Fossum and Anne Crowther as choristers. Favorite carols included “Joy to the World,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” “Silent Night,” “What Child Is This?” “Far, Far Away on Judea’s Plains,” and “Good Christian Men, Rejoice.”

An instrumental duet version of “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” was performed by Lorna Brignone on piano and Maggie Lund on organ. The evening ended with the Malad High School Chamber Choir performing “Remembering Decembers,” bringing back memories of past holidays, and “O Holy Night.” The entire audience joyfully joined the Chamber Choir, led by Foster Garrett, in the third verse of this favorite Christmas carol.

Refreshments in the cultural hall ended an evening of song and joy to lead into the Christmas holiday in Malad Valley.
