We warmly invite you to be part of the Hurstbourne Christian Church Sanctuary Choir as we prepare for our 2025 Christmas Cantata. This year’s celebration is themed “Festival of Christmas,” and we’re pulling out all the stops—a joyful mix of classic carols, beloved Christmas hymns, and a moving, modern arrangement of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day.”

The service will weave together music and narration, inviting us into the story of Christ’s birth. Together, we’ll follow the journey to Bethlehem, hear the angels’ proclamation of peace, and reflect on the wonder of God’s greatest gift to the world: His Son, Jesus Christ. The choir, accompanied by soloists and a chamber orchestra, will help bring this sacred story to life, reminding us all why Christmas is a season of hope, love, and celebration.

Whether you’ve sung in choirs for years or have never tried it before, we’d love for you to join us. No experience is necessary—just a love of music and a desire to honor Christ through song. Rehearsals are held Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:00 PM in the sanctuary. Each week, you’ll find encouragement, friendship, and the joy of preparing something truly meaningful for our church and wider community.

Our Christmas Cantata has become a cherished tradition at Hurstbourne Christian Church, a highlight of the holiday season that brings together family, friends, and our community. This is more than just a musical event—it’s a time to gather in worship, to celebrate the miracle of Christ’s birth, and to share the message of God’s love with one another.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, December 21, during the worship service. Even if you can’t join the choir, we hope you and your loved ones will attend and experience the beauty and truth of Christmas with us.

Let’s come together to remember the night when hope entered our world in a humble manger and rejoice in the promise that Christ’s light still shines. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
