Timmons Chapel – Dec. 6 

For more than a half-century, the annual holiday concert in the historic Timmons Chapel has been a symbol that Christmas is just around the corner.  

It’s an intimate concert with a variety of individual performers and small ensembles. This year, it will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.  

Located at the edge of the University Lake, this Gothic-style, all-faiths chapel was built in 1966 as a gift to the university from Beth Spiva Timmons. The concert is free. Seating is limited.
