A Christmas Story

Maybe you've never heard of George Frederick Handel but you've probably heard the famous Hallelujah Chorus from his 1741 work "Messiah."  Perhaps it has beome a bit cliche' nowadays as it is mostly used in commercials to signal the epiphany of an actor deciding to buy the perfect product; but the fact remains that "Messiah" is a fabulous, awe inspiring reflection of the coming King, Jesus. 

There is much lore about "Messiah" and whether Handel received the work under direct inspiration from God, or why King George II stood, when he heard the Hallelujah Chorus. 

If you've never heard it before, CLICK HERE for a link to one of the great songs that tell about the babe we all celebrate at Christmas, "For Unto Us a Child is Born." 

For to us a child is born, 

     to us a son is given, 
   and the government will be on his shoulders. 
And he will be called 
   Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, 
   Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Isaiah 9

As we enter our final week until Christmas, find time to forget about commercial Jesus, and fall in love again, with the loving, powerful, meek, King of Kings and Lord of Lords!  He did it all for YOU!

 

SUNDAY NIGHT: FAMILY TREE LIGHTING!

Don't forget, Sunday Night at 6:00 pm we will host our Family Tree Lighting.  Come out and sing some Christmas carols, eat some cookies and watch the night sky LIGHT UP with wonder and amazement!  Don't miss it!

THESE ARE THE 'GOOD OLD DAYS' @ LCC!
