There is nothing quite like hearing a choir sing Christmas songs. When we put those songs together, with some fantastic solo voices, and add some narration, we have a Cantata, or a musical composition of voices and instruments. The Celebration Choir will be offering a Cantata for Christmas during the morning worship on December 22, at 10:OO AM. The name of the Cantata is City of Hope, by Tom Fettke and Jay Rouse. As the publisher wrote about this work, the word "hope" is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or will turn out for the best.  

We know that Hope was born over 2000 years ago, in the small town of Bethlehem. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” We always need hope in our lives, and there is no better time to feel that hope than at the time of Advent, or the time of Christ’s birth. Hope is no longer a feeling, but becomes a solid truth where we can build our lives.  

This Cantata has several tunes that you will know, as well as some words to Christmas Carols that will be familiar. I pray that you will come to hear the choir, and bring a friend or two that might need a little bit of hope as well.  

Join the Cantata!

Our choir has already begun practicing for the "City of Hope" Christmas Cantata. I invite you to sing with us as we prepare for the production. We will offer this to God as we perform it on December 22, 2024, during morning worship. If you would like to sing with us, we invite you to come to practice on Wednesday nights at 6:30-8:00 PM. Join in the fun!
