This Sunday December 11 starting at 10:30 a.m. Church of the Nations will be with University Baptist Church for worship in the “big sanctuary”. This will be a special worship service with Christmas music by the choir with small orchestra. Please come and join us for the beautiful music!
The schedule is the same.
Church of the Nations will take a group downtown for the Downtown Christmas Pilgrimage this Sunday, December 19 starting at 6:00 p.m. at Mt Zion Baptist Church (near First United Methodist Church).
(I have had difficulty finding a good resource on the Internet for information about this. This is the best I have been able to find:
First United Methodist Church calendar
First Presbyterian Church – Christmas Carol Pilgrimage)
The Downtown Christmas Pilgrimage is a beautiful and special way to prepare for and celebrate Christmas. Basically there is music and singing at five churches in downtown Baton Rouge. We begin at one church then walk to the next one and the next one and so on – five churches in all. (We will probably not go to all five churches – that can take a long time and people might become too tired.)
You can drive yourself and meet us at the first church at 5:30 p.m. (nice and early in order to get good seats) or ride on the church bus which will pick up from the usual places starting at Edward Gay at 5:00 p.m. Please allow up to 5-7 minutes for the bus to arrive because of weather or traffic.
Children are welcome (as long as they participate and can walk with everyone else). We strongly recommend you have something to eat/drink before you come! (We may not be finished until around 8:00 p.m.)
This is perhaps Pastor Rick’s favorite activity during the Advent/Christmas season. We hope you can join us.
If you are part of our excellent Choir of the Nations – please join us when we practice this Friday, December 04 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the chapel (or choir room – behind the chapel). Please come if you can and please be on time – we need to use the whole time in order to be ready to sing on Sunday morning.
If you would like to join us – it is fun and a good chance to learn more about music – we always welcome new people. You do not have to be a great singer – you only need to enjoy music and singing.
Rick can pick up people who need a ride:
Please let me know if you need to be picked up from any other location.
Because so many in Choir of the Nations will be out of town and because of the Thanksgiving holiday – we will not gather again to practice until Friday, December 04. See you then!
Many of you got to watch Choir of the Nations sing so beautifully on Sunday, October 25. You can sing with us!
