Savannah Gets Ready for a Joyful Christmas Celebration
Get ready, Savannah! The city is about to be filled with the delightful sounds of the season as Christ Church Episcopal rolls out the red carpet for The Joy of Christmas: a Community Celebration on Friday, December 20. This joyous event is set to take place from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. and is open to everyone who enjoys the magic of Christmas carols!
Come Join the Fun!
Located at 28 Bull Street, Savannah, GA 31401, Christ Church Episcopal is inviting all residents and visitors to come together for an evening full of festive music. Here’s the best part: the concert is absolutely free! But if the spirit of giving has inspired you, feel free to make a voluntary donation at the door. All proceeds collected will support Emmaus House, a staple charity in our community run by United Ministries of Savannah.
What Can You Expect?
This magical night is all about the community coming together to sing beloved hymns and carols. Attendees can look forward to the incredible voices of the Christ Church Choir, who will perform both ancient and modern seasonal anthems. Highlights of the evening will include Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, a piece that sends chills down your spine with its beauty.
“This concert will be sure to get everyone in the mood for the joy of Christmas,” shared George Fergus, the Director of Music at Christ Church Episcopal. “Residents and visitors alike are sure to enjoy a special evening. Music should be about community, and we’re proud that in this season of giving, this concert can support Emmaus House to address food insecurity in our beloved city.”
Give Back While You Celebrate
Now, here’s something that warms the heart: the community spirit doesn’t stop at singing! Emmaus House, which is celebrating its 42nd year of operation, is dedicated to providing essential services to those in need every weekday morning. They serve up around 43,000 hot meals every year, offering cozy warm meals, laundry, and shower access to individuals facing hard times.
By attending this concert, you’re not just enjoying a splendid evening of music; you are also lending a hand to help those who rely on the vital outreach of Emmaus House. Talk about hitting two birds with one festive stone!
