The concerts will be presented in three services, Friday and Sunday evenings, March 27th and 29th at 7 p.m., and Saturday, March 28th at 3 p.m.
The Voices of Praise platform will be filled with over 80 singers coming together from over 20 churches who celebrate the life of Jesus through music. This includes Palm Sunday, the passion of Jesus, his crucifixion and death, and the excitement of Easter morning. This is the first time in the existence of “Voices of Praise” that a true Easter production has been done for its Spring presentations.
Soloists are Rich Criss, Tonia Ernst, and Eddie Pruis, and narrators sharing the story and life of Jesus include Brenda Haan and Bob Stone.
“The Lamb Has Overcome” is filled with moving and high-energy music including Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s “The Lamb Has Overcome,” “I’m Amazed,” “Behold the Lamb,” and “Thou, O Lord.” Favorite selections of the Emmanuel choir include Gaither Vocal Band’s “Alpha & Omega;” The Hoppers’ “Yahweh” and “Jerusalem,” and the Ball Brothers’ “Mercy Tree.”
Worship music begins the evening with the congregation invited to join the choir for the worship song “Hymn of Heaven,” “Resurrection Hymn Medley” featuring “Christ the Lord is Risen Today,” “Crown Him with Many Crowns,” “O Worship the King,” “All Hail the Power” and “How Great Thou Art.” These truly will be concerts you will not soon forget!
No tickets are needed for this 70-minute concert; a free-will offering will be received. All ages are welcome, and the church is handicapped accessible. A fellowship hour will follow all performances, hosted by the women of Emmanuel.
A free shuttle bus will be provided one hour prior to and following all three services. This bus will pick up from the south end of Ebenezer Reformed Church’s parking lot, just two blocks south of Emmanuel’s campus, dropping you off at the curb in front of Emmanuel. Emmanuel Church is located at 202 E. Morris St., Morrison.
