As we prepare our hearts for the Lenten season, Hurstbourne Christian Church invites you to be a part of a powerful musical offering. We are calling all singers (and those willing to learn) to join the choir for our upcoming Palm Sunday Cantata, titled "Calvary's Lamb".

Composed by the always creative Mary McDonald, "Calvary's Lamb" tells the Passion story with consummate words and music. This cantata will feature a chamber orchestra, bringing the same depth and beauty to our worship that we experienced during the Christmas Cantata.

Through this music, we will walk the streets of Jerusalem in the spirited Palm Sunday opening, journey to the Upper Room, wait in the Garden of Gethsemane, and finally stand at the hill of Golgotha. The closing anthem soars with the hope of the pending resurrection.

No prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn and sing praise to the Lord. If you are interested, please see Marc to pick up a copy of the music and a listening CD. Rehearsals begin soon! We will meet on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM, starting on February 25th.

In addition to the cantata, the choir will be preparing select anthems to present throughout the Lenten season and on Easter Sunday:

· March 15: "Redeemed"

· March 22: "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"

· Easter Sunday: "Come, Christians Greet the Day" and "Because He Lives"

For those not joining the choir, we invite you to mark your calendars and share this poignant worship experience with your friends and family.

Palm Sunday Presentation: Sunday, March 29th, at 10:30am.
