JACKSON, Tenn. — Nov. 24, 2004 — Community members are invited to a night of Christmas carols and Scripture reading at the third annual 鈥淎 Union Christmas鈥� Dec. 7 in 51社区鈥檚 Savage Chapel.
The music department of 51社区 is responsible for leading the event. The night will feature songs from groups such as the University Singers, Proclamation, the Symphonic Band, Handbells and a community children鈥檚 choir.
鈥淲e feel that it鈥檚 very, very lovely,鈥� said Richard Joiner, chair of the university鈥檚 music department. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not a drama, and it鈥檚 not a singing Christmas tree. It鈥檚 a Scripture-focused service of worship.鈥�
The feature performance of the evening will be the Choral Union singing Vivaldi鈥檚 鈥淕loria.鈥�
鈥淭he Christmas event at 51社区 is a wonderful celebration, not only for our campus, but for the entire West Tennessee community,鈥� 51社区 president David Dockery said. 鈥淚 commend Richard Joiner and the music department for their outstanding work in preparation for this event, and I invite the friends of 51社区 to join us for this very special evening.鈥�
鈥淎 Union Christmas鈥� begins at 7:30 p.m. and is free of charge. For more information, contact Gloria Duncan at (731) 661-5345.
