  • SPECIAL EASTER CANTATA

    SPECIAL EASTER CANTATA: April 1st at 4pm (PALM SUNDAY )

    Once again the Christian Community Choir will perform a free concert in our sanctuary. We are so blessed to have them. The Choir is composed of singers from 10 churches and number 50 plus voices. The Choir is under the direction of Mrs. Linda Cross of the East Brookfield Baptist Church. A collation will follow sponsored by the Woman’s Association. Please speak to Judy Ivel or Cindy Lapointe to volunteer to bake or help with the collation.
    The program is called EYES OF FAITH, Seeing and Believing the Messiah. Spiritually we look through the eyes of these followers of Jesus (Simeon, Judas, Mary Magdalene and Peter), their insights, feelings and emotion. We see how their lives were affected and changed by Jesus, and realize that Jesus is still affecting and changing lives today as we look through “eyes of faith”.

    Schedule of other performances:
    3/30/12 7p.m. St John the Baptist Catholic Church, East Brookfield
    4/8/12 11a.m. East Brookfield Baptist Church, East Brookfield
    4/15/12 2p.m. Masonic Home, Charlton
