Christmas Songs

Most of December we sang carols that almost everyone is familiar with, so I won't list them all, but I did want to make you aware of some links to songs that we used throughout the last few weeks in our services, if you'd like to download them from the web or look for a cd to help your personal worship.


Christmas Eve:

Cole and Jillian Edwards started out our service wtih a great arrangment of "O Holy Night." Both grew up here at the church - and our twins... how bout that? You can find some of their tunes on myspace - and Jillian has been doing well with her new album on itunes.... Check them out.

December 11, 2011

Rather than do a standup Christmas concert or musical this year the choir and orchestra are ramping up our offerings for the December 11th and 18th services. This week we'll welcome my friend Keron Jackson as our guest vocalist. Keron will do 2 songs with the choir and 2 on his own, as well as share his powerful testimony. Keron is what I call a "one note" singer. You only have to listen to one note to know that this guy is something very special.
Here's Keron singing "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
