Coming this December . . .
A Thrill of Hope
An Inspirational Christmas Cantata by Joel Raney
Presented for 5:00 p.m. Saturday, December 11th and 10:30 a.m. Sunday, December 12th worship services
A word from the composer....
“A Thrill of Hope, the Weary World Rejoices” – nothing captures the awe and wonder of Christmas better than that single phrase from John Dwight’s “O Holy Night” which serves as the cornerstone for this Christmas musical. A Thrill of Hope looks at the birth of Christ from four distinct vantage points: celebrating the HOPE he brought, the LOVE he showed, the PEACE he promised, and the JOY of Emmanuel, God with us, forevermore!
A word from the director....
There is still time to share your gift of music to bring to life this cantata that tells the Christmas story in ways both warm and familiar and fresh as thoughtful narration, scripture, and a medley of familiar songs and carols blend to tell this most beloved story of Jesus come to earth.
