Choir Cantata
The Christmas Cantata this year will be “Joy!”
by Joel Raney. Joy! tells the story of Jesus’s
birth through gospel music. The music will
feature the choir and several soloists and will
be accompanied by an instrumental ensemble.
Scripture readings on the theme of joy are
interspersed throughout. The cantata will be
presented on
Sunday, December 18th
at the
10:00 a.m. worship service. What is more joyful
than the good news of Christ’s birth and what
sounds more joyful than gospel music? Plan to
attend this joyous service!
December 21st
—A Blue Christmas Service
of Comfort, Loss, Love & Hope, The holiday
season is hard for some of us. You are not
alone. This service will provide time and space,
through song and readings from Scripture, for
God’s people to reflect on the sadness this time
of the year can invoke, while also remembering
that God is there, and that light will soon return.
Everyone is invited. No one is left out.
Traditionally centered on the Winter Solstice
[12/21—the longest night of the year] our service will be held on Wednesday,
December 21st, 2016 @ 7 p.m
. A FREE supper will be served at 6:00 p.m.
