This class is for newborns through age 2. In this class, our youngest friends experience music, with a parent or caregiver, in a variety of ways. It is a beautiful way to introduce your child to music and to experience community with other parents/caregivers.
The Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster (MCCL) will close out the LCOB 2023-24 Starlight Tea Concert Series with a performance next Saturday, April 13, at 7:00 p.m. in the church Sanctuary.
The concert is part of the MCCL’s spring concert series “Sing ‘Til the Power of the Lord Come Down!” which celebrates the group’s 25 years of singing. The choir will share several Spirituals and songs from the Gospel tradition, such as “He Is Marvelous” by Rosephanye Powell and “The Storm Is Passing Over” by Charles Albert Tindley, arranged by Barbara W. Baker. Music by Michael Praetorius, G. F. Handel, John Rutter, and Elaine Hagenberg—as well as songs in Hebrew, German, and Latin—will represent the depth and breadth of choral music from around the world and across time learned by MCCL singers.
The Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster is a community choral arts program serving more than 150 children and youth in kindergarten through grade 12. (Only middle and high school-age children will perform for this concert.) Representing nearly 55 congregations, 45 schools, and 12 denominations, singers develop a rich musical repertoire from around the world and across time while being equipped for a lifetime of service to the church and community. The mission of MCCL is training children and youth to glorify Jesus Christ through excellent choral singing. Tea and cookies will be served following the concert. The free Starlight Tea series is supported by patrons and offerings received at concerts.
