The Christmas season is upon us, a time for introspection as we relive the experience of waiting for the fulfillment of the prophecy of a coming Savior. This meaning has largely been lost in modern times as we skip the quiet reflection and jump directly to the commercial sparkle of Christmas. It is our wish that, through the reading of Scripture, the hearing and singing of melodies ancient and new, and the corporate experience of worship and fellowship, you will feel renewed strength and hope. We pray that by the familiarity of this performance you will experience the warmth of the light of Christ.

How to Donate
As you can probably imagine, there were costs incurred in the production of this concert, including professional musicians, equipment, technical support staff, and production costs—just to name a few. However, as a community, we needed this concert in many ways. It serves as a reminder of better days ahead, both after the virus and in a big-picture sense when Jesus returns.
To be clear, this is a free concert. We produced it for you, with no strings attached. However, if you were blessed by the concert and would like to express your gratitude in the form of a tax-deductible donation, we’ve set up a link for you to do so. If you choose to give, thank you for your generosity. If giving isn’t possible right now, we understand! We appreciate your support in the form of prayer and engagement. Either way, thank you for watching!

Our director for the evening, Minister of Music, Michael Patterson, prepares for his piano solo. There’s something about the green trees and lights that make the Christmas season special in the Spencerville sanctuary. Spencerville member Emily Flores joined us as a member of our string ensemble. A special thank you to Mark Froelich, who took on the role of photographer at the last minute. The Spencerville String Mosaic, as we’re calling them, performs several pieces during the concert and is comprised of church members and professional musicians alike. Kim Machado is a familiar face to many at Spencerville Church. It was great to hear Kim, Prethi, and Karla sing together again! Steven Blondo, one of our resident tenors, regaled us with his renditions from Handel’s Messiah and Gesu Bambino. Andre Darvasan-Stanciu also blessed us with his baritone voice. It was great to have Andre back with us! Thomas Manu operated our four remote cameras during the two rigorous nights of shooting. It was lovely to have some of our favorite people on stage singing and praising God together once again!
