Entries for November 2008

Two thousand years ago Jesus, the long awaited Messiah, was born in a little town of Bethlehem. Not in a palace, not draped in silken woven cloth, but in a dusty stable wrapped in plain, cotton swaddling cloth.   A star beamed the way for the shepherds who lay in the fields and the wise men who came from afar to visit the newborn King. 

 

So do we here at Our Savior Lutheran shine a little ray of Bethlehem as we once again present our Eight Annual Festival of Sacred Music next Sunday, December 7 at 4:00pm. Not in a grand cathedral, not in a large city, but in our small town Burlington heralding Christ’s birth in our very own beautiful church.

 

In the past years we have been blessed with many people coming to the Festivals from “afar” who have enjoyed the programs which have lifted and filled their spirits with the joy of the season.   However, it is always so wonderful for the choir to see “our family” among the sitting listeners. So please come next Sunday and be a part of the Festival with us. The music is beautiful, the refreshments are delicious and the concert lasts about one hour leaving plenty of time to be home early on Sunday evening.

 

Blessings to all

Jeannine Chapdelaine Rath, Choir Director
