Event Details
December 10, 8:15 AM and 11 AM Services
Love, by Joel Raney will be presented by the St. Mark’s Chancel Choir, Orchestra and Praise Band. The gospel-flavored musical reflects on the promise of peace delivered by the angels on the night of Jesus’ birth. An original composition, Love is Born, is used as musical bookends; its theme is briefly stated in the second movement and returns in full-blown gospel style at the end to provide an emotion-filled climax. In between, the Christmas story is told through scriptural narration and familiar carols, set in a variety of styles ranging from jazz to gospel to calypso.
Presented at the 8:15 and 11:00 AM Traditional Services. Come early or stay late for some fabulous all-church fellowship with coffee and conversation between services – the current at 9:40 AM will not be meeting.
Conducted by Eric DeForest and featuring the St. Mark’s Chancel Choir, Praise Band and the St. Mark’s Orchestra.

Event Details
During the Advent and Christmas season we are often told to turn our hearts to thoughts of peace, joy, love, and hope, but for many the holidays can be a source of stress and grief. The season can remind us of loved ones who are no longer with us, broken expectations, a sense of despair, and often leave us wondering if joy will ever return. And that’s okay. It is okay to enter the season of Advent and Christmas with pain rather than joy in your heart. That’s the whole point of having a Blue Christmas worship service, a time and space in worship where we can come together as a community and acknowledge each other’s pain. This will be a time of prayer and reflection as we offer our fears and pain to God.
