Beginnings

 A Praise Concert

By Buryl Red and Ragan Courtney

“In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God, And the Word was God…”

 BEGINNINGS shows how God has worked and continues to work in our lives. In a musical setting this work has dramatized the beginning of the earth (Creation) and the fall of man; the beginning of restoration (Redemption) with the coming of Christ; and the completed work (Salvation ) that had its beginning so long ago.

 Presented by the Sanctuary Choir

Accompanied by the Piano, Organ and Percussion

In early 2011, we sent one short term missionary to Calcutta, India to teach knitting to destitute and enslaved women. We are also involved with a number of outreach programs and collect resources for people in need.
