30th annual Lenten Concert at Hillsboro First UMC

By
-
The choirs of Hillsboro First United Methodist Church will present a concert for Lent on Sunday, April 10 at 4 p.m.  

Now in its 30th year, the annual concert for Lent is a tradition at Hillsboro First UMC.
 
Under the direction of Marilyn Myers, the Chancel Choir will perform the cantata, “Who Do You Say That I Am? “ by Lloyd Larson. The cantata invites the choir, narrators, and congregation to experience anew the earthly life of Jesus, seeing His life, ministry, death, and resurrection through the eyes of front-row participants.  Their varied answers to the title question reveal the Messiah, Emmanuel, gifted Teacher, the miracle Worker, the King of Glory, and the King above all kings, a Man of Sorrows, the sacrificial Lamb of God, and the triumphant Lord of Life, the Son of the living God.
 
Joining the Chancel Choir, the Bell Choir of Hillsboro First will be performing music for Lent.

The Hand Bell Choir was organized in 1980 with Mrs. Cynthia Eigel as director. The English hand bells bring an additional dimension to sacred music. Bell Ringers at HFUMC now include youth, and a newly formed musical bell choir for primary age children.
 
At the close of the concert, Hillsboro First Youth will serve a spaghetti dinner in Robison Hall. The church is located at 133 East Walnut Street, and the community is cordially invited to attend.[[In-content Ad]]
