The celebration of our armed forces and the freedom their sacrifice has awarded us as Americans is presented every year by the the Chancel (adult) Choir, St. Matthew Orchestra, and Drama Ministry. Come spend an evening with us as we honor those who have fallen and those who have served over the years. You will get to hear the anthem of each branch of the military with the fantastic finale of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Held every Sunday before the 4th of July.
Each year during the Christmas season, the Chancel (adult) Choir, St. Matthew Orchestra, and Drama Ministry combine to present The Glory of Christmas. The story of Christ's birth, what he meant to the world then, and what he continues to mean for us today. We will take you back to early America to see how the gift of Jesus changed and molded the meaning of Christmas for a family looking for answers.
Each year during Holy Week, the Chancel (adult) Choir, St. Matthew Orchestra, and Drama Ministry combine to present The Joy of Easter. The story of Christ's death on the cross, his resurrection, and triumph over sin. You have three opportunities to experience this live event and admission is completely free! There will be a love offering taken to support this important ministry during the evening. All ages are welcome and encouraged to come!
