Our Choir Music Program Presents Appalachian Winter:

From Joseph Martin comes a cantata that celebrates the legacy of early American carols and hymnody. Composed in the spirit of folk music, the cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like "Away In A Manger" and "O Little Town Of Bethlehem" dance with traditional spirituals such as "Children Go Where I Send Thee" and "Go Tell It On The Mountain." Sacred Harp tunes are re-tooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies.

Come hear what the wonderful group has practiced and prepared this Sunday, December 21 at 9:30 and get your spirits ready for the Holiday season! 🌲🌲

Sunday worship service for December 14th is cancelled. Even though the snow has stopped, it will still be bitterly cold and most of us should probably not venture out early in the morning. Please be safe and take care of your neighbors. See you next Sunday when it should feel almost like Spring!!
