Christmas Cantata

On Sunday morning, December 16, our choir will present “Come and See, Go and Tell”, a musical that warmly and richly unveils the story of Christmas as it leads the listener to an invitation to come

and see and know that this is your King, born to bring light and salvation to a peo-ple lost in darkness. And as the invitation turns into the revelation that this truly is Christ the King, we have no recourse but to bow and worship Him. And once we have seen, we can do nothing else but go and tell the Good News: the Savior is born!
