Handel’s Messiah Concert and Chairty Fair
Come join us for the seasonal classic, Messiah, on December 1st at 4pm. This landmark choral work by George Frederick Handel celebrates the season and the foretelling of the birth of Jesus. Full orchestra and soloists accompany the St. Cross chancel choir. This is a free event. A free-will offering will be collected. Following the concert, all attendees are invited to a reception in our parish hall. During that reception, a number of local non-profits will be tabling the event to share with the community about their mission and vision for the world.
