Govans Chancel Choir presents: Oratorio de Noël
Join us for the Chancel Choir’s performance of Oratorio de Noël (Christmas Oratorio) by Camille Saint-Saëns. You will also get to hear some of the singers in our choir featured as soloists: Jocelyn Taylor, Nerissa Paglinauan, David Willerup, Karl Starks, and Colin Johnson! You might recognize this composer, for he wrote the famous Carnival of the Animal pieces, most notable of which is “The Swan.” Saint-Saëns also composed the famous “Danses Macabre.”

Service for Those Who Grieve
Christmas time can be especially hard for people who are grieving. We may have lost loved ones during the holidays or we may be acutely feeling their absence at this time when being with loved ones is emphasized. Come light a candle in memory of a loved one. Listen to some quiet music. No Christmas Carols will be sung. No compulsory joy. It will just be a space set aside to acknowledge our grief.

Christmas Eve: Children’s Christmas Pageant
The Christmas Pageant is back! Everyone is welcome to participate. Grab a costume when you walk in. What will you be? Shepherd? Angel? Animal? Maybe there will be some lines. Maybe not. You never know. What we will have for sure is classic Christmas Carols led by our band, scripture readings that tell the Christmas story, and an evening of joy and light.

Christmas Eve: Service of Peace and Joy
We begin by singing Silent Night to candle light, then we move through a few scripture readings and carol medleys before ending with some rousing hymns of joy! Join us as we celebrate the birth of Christ with choral music, instrumental music, and congregational singing.
