It was advertised as A Christmas Service of Lessons and Carols. It was all that and more. This evening, The First Presbyterian Church of Jackson held their annual Christmas concert, given by their full choir of 150. In addition, they were joined by thirty musicians from the Jackson Symphony. It was a wonderful production. The chapel looked beautiful and the whole thing was over in 75 minutes. The scripture readings and choral works and the congregational singing moved along from one thing to the next with no extraneous talking.
The music was superb, but by the time It was over, I was ready for some other type of music, so it ended at the perfect time. There is another concert scheduled at 6:00 so they had to end on time. The musicians needed a bit of a break.
Andrew and Christina attend that church. They chose the church because of the activities for the children. It was a wise decision. They did not know about the music program but it is good too. Both older girls sing in the youth choirs. Their concert was held on Wednesday and was standing room only. Today the large chapel will be filled twice for the evening Christmas Service. It was a magnificent production. Wonderful singing and playing and reading of the Christmas story makes you warm your heart. I love Christmas and loved this concert.
