Advent Bible Study
Sundays in Dec | 4:00pm
Experiencing Christmas: Christ in the Sights and Sounds of Advent
By Matt Rawle
This is a virtual Advent Bible Study hosted by the West Ohio United Women in Faith. The study is Sundays Dec 1 to Dec 22 from 4:00-5:15pm. We know this is a busy season so please don't let that keep you from coming as your schedule permits. Each week we will be playing a video that will provide all the material you will need to take part in the session so preparation is minimal. If you would like, there is a text that can be purchased wherever you buy your books.By Matt Rawle
Handel's
Messiah
Dec 15 | 6:00pm
The Zanesville Civic Chorus and Orchestra presents its 95th annual performance of Handel’s Messiah Oratorio Sunday, December 15, 6:00 pm at CT. This annual music gift to the Zanesville/Muskingum County Community is one of the oldest choral music traditions in the State of Ohio. The production is under the direction of Ann Lillie Briggs. The production is sponsored by the Thursday Music Club. CT has hosted this concert and the Verla Moore Service Club has provided hospitality for many years. Many of the singers in the chorus are members of the CT Music Ministry. The concert will also be livestreamed on our church Facebook and later on our church website where it can be viewed at any time.
Messiah is the world’s most popular sacred choral music composition. It was first performed 281 years ago in Dublin, Ireland. Often the composer, George Frederick Handel, would present this music as a benefit for a charity. The expenses for this concert are being funded by grants and financial gifts from music lovers in our community. The tradition of taking a freewill offering and giving it to a local charity in the “spirit of Handel” continues in the Zanesville production. This year the recipient will be the Southeast Ohio Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. You are invited to attend the concert and bring a friend. Hear the scripture “come alive” through the music.
