Annual CandlelightChristmas Concert at
First Church
190 Court Street, Middletown
Sunday, December 12th, at 4 pm
Hear the sounds of Christmas at First Church on Sunday, at 4 pm. Our Celebration Singers, Heart in Hand Bell Choir, and Senior Choir present traditional and not so traditional sounds of the season. The concert also includes congregational singing of traditional favorite carols and inspirational readings. The concert is free; donations are welcomed.
Choral selections feature two carols with early American roots: "Jesus Christ the Apple Tree," with soulful folk lyrics in a contemporary setting, and "Emanuel," a carol reminiscent of shape-note songs and written by William Billings, an original composer of lively hymns and songs of the revolutionary era.
