Christmas Time is Here!

Immanuel/Sanctuary Music Notes- Dec (the newsletter for all Immanuel/Sanctuary musicians and friends)

Christmas time is here!

Yes it is! And with it comes plenty of musical opportunities and offerings at Immanuel and Sanctuary. Send me an email if you would like to join in the fun or help out in any way.

Two musical offerings for you:


Peter Mayer concert- at Immanuel- this Sat Dec 5th at 7pm. You can find ticket info here: (www.ilcdg.org) This concert would be a great start to your Christmas season. You won't be disappointed!



Immanuel Choirs Christmas Cantata- Wed Dec 9th at 7pm. This year Immanuel's choirs are joining together to perform a collection of Christmas favorites. We will be doing this 40 minute program in place of our regular Advent service time. This years program has been both fun and challenging for us to prepare, and it would be great to have our fellow musicians out to prepare your hearts for Christmas with us.

Some Opportunities to serve:

Sanctuary1010 Christmas Choir- I am putting together a choir for Sanctuary's Christmas Eve service. The Sanctuary service this year will be at 8:30pm. We will have practices at 7:30 on the following Monday's Dec 7th, 14th and 21st. If you are planning on attending Sanctuary's Christmas eve service, why not join in the choir? We would love to have you! Pass the word around, invite someone who you know likes to sing, to join you! We need at least 10 people for this choir. Hope you will join us!


Sanctuary Christmas Band-

A few musicians are needed to help round out the band for Christmas eve. Percussion, bass and acoustic guitar. Also my yearly question? Does anyone have a set of vibes or bells you would be willing to transport for the occasion! ;)


Immanuel Praise Choir-

Immanuel's Praise Choir will be preparing a piece to sing at the 4:30 service on Christmas Eve at Immanuel. If you are planning on attending this service, and would like to sing, Why not join us for practice on Thursday Dec 17th at 7pm. All are welcome!

In Closing

This Christmas season I pray that we as musicians serving in the church, are able to play music that is transparent in its message and delivery, and that the life changing message in Jesus and His birth are played and sung so that all can hear!

This Christmas season, I also pray for you all individually, that in this busy time you are able to keep your focus on The Light of the World!

Many of us, even more so during the holidays, find ourselves going through difficult, restless and stressful times. Could we all pray for each other this month? Pray that we can rest in the knowledge that baby Jesus brings everlasting Peace into this un-peaceful world!

Christmas time is here!
