Once again, the First Baptist Church of Fairlea welcomes the public to celebrate Christmas in song! Composer Jay Rouse’s “Brand New Hallelujah” brings a contemporary worship experience of modernized traditional carols, worship ballads, and gospel-style originals, conveying the joy, wonder, and inspiration of Christ’s humble and wondrous birth.
The cantata, under the direction of Jeff Bryant, will be presented Dec. 17 at 8:30 p.m. in the Chapel at The Greenbrier, and Dec. 18 at 7:30 p.m.in the sanctuary of First Baptist of Fairlea. A live orchestra will accompany the choir, featuring both local and regional musicians.
The first rehearsal for interested singers (no audition needed) is Sunday, Oct. 9, from 5 to 6:15 p.m. at First Baptist of Fairlea. The choir will practice every Sunday until the cantata is presented.
