Christmas Concert

By: Johnny Coggin

This Sunday night at 6:00pm is Grace Evan's Christmas Concert, an annual, church-wide, musical celebration of our God becoming a man in order to accomplish his great rescue mission. It's a ton of fun, and many of your friends and family have a part in it.

Musically, the styles range across the board - from bluegrass to choir/orchestra, pop/rock to a cappella, Transiberian Orchestra to Guitorquestra.

That's right, Guitorquestra. 60 or so guitar players, young and old, male and female, moms and dads and sons and daughters. All strumming in unison to the glory of Emmanuel. (watch a past video below, or click here.)

To quote Jim Umlauf:
Are you often amazed at how good the special music is at our church, week after week? Imagine if you could listen to a whole concert of that. And imagine if it were all Christmas music, some of it just like you remember it, some of it new, and all of it exciting and fresh.

You’ve got a one time shot this Sunday at 6:00. This is one of those whole-church, body-life events, so don’t miss the opportunity to include your family in the greater family as we celebrate the birth of our Savior in a fun and unique way.

So come on out at 6:00 this Sunday, December 13!
