Cantata: Born a Savior, Born a King

It's that time of year!  The Sanctuary Choir will be presenting the annual Christmas Special Music program this Sunday, December 11 at the 10:30 worship hour.  The cantata is subtitled "The Prophecy Fulfilled," and tells the story through musical descriptions of the joy, wonder, and excitement that filled the air on that first Christmas.  The composer, John Purifoy, has combined familiar carols and new musical stylizations, in a setting which is appealing to all.  The story is presented in Scripture and verse by narrators Arlin Middleton and Teresa Dietz Manring.   The choir, accompanied by organist Lorie Meservey, and pianist Linda Stewart present the full range of expression, from the dramatic "Deliver Us, Lord!" to the tender "He is Born Now, the Prince of Peace."  The choir and members of the music ministry have invested great time and energy to this project, and we hope that you will be in church to experience the joyful message.
