The Celebration Choir and Instruments of Grace will soon begin preparation for their Christmas Presentation. This year’s selection is the cantata “Joy to the World” arranged by Jay Althouse. It is full of familiar and festive carols and will include a great deal of congregational participation as they are invited to sing along.
We welcome ALL singers to join us for this project. It’s a short-term commitment over eight weeks culminating in our performance on Sunday, December 17 at the 9:00 & 11:00 services.
If you would like to sing — or even just come and check it out — plan to come to rehearsal on Wednesday, October 18 at 7:00 PM in the Chapel. Rehearsal that evening will focus primarily on the Christmas music. Subsequent rehearsals are TBD; dress rehearsal with instruments will be on Wednesday, December 13.
