APRIL EVENT - THE CREATION
The Creation
Sunday, April 26 | 7:00 pm
In our season finale, the Chancel Choir of Christ Church United Methodist presents Joseph Haydn’s indelible masterwork, The Creation, featuring soloists and orchestra. This monumental work retells the story of creation from the book of Genesis, celebrating God’s power to bring light out of darkness and order out of chaos. Joyful and uplifting, this musical masterpiece is as relevant today as it was at its premiere in 1798. Come and be immersed in the sublime sounds of God’s majesty and glory! A freewill offering will benefit Lighthouse Academy at Newburg.
