📰 News we're reading

• Some Tulsa utility customers will receive Service Line Notification Letters; no action required (fox23.com) — Some Tulsa utility customers will soon get letters saying their water service line material is still listed as “unknown,” but city officials stress no action is needed. Required under federal lead and copper rules, the notices follow inspections that have found no lead service lines in Tulsa so far, and only a few short lead connectors that were immediately removed.
   

• Cold case family members to participate in Christmas parade (ktul.com) — Families of Tulsa cold case victims will ride in the Tulsa Christmas parade with the Caravan to Catch a Killer van, hoping someone in the crowd holds a crucial tip. Parents of Brittany Phillips and Dena Dean, both murdered years ago in Tulsa-area cases, are using the festive event to keep attention on unsolved homicides and remind neighbors that justice work continues through the holidays.
   

• Tulsa teens find community through historic church choir (kjrh.com) — Tulsa teens are finding friendship, purpose, and weekly service through the Chapel Choir at Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, which has sung here for 70 years. Open to all without auditions or fees, the group leads Sunday worship, tours nationally for performances and mission work, and offers local students a rare, tradition-rich space to grow through music and community.
