Rise Up Shepherd Christmas Cantata
Trinity Lutheran Church will present the cantata “Rise Up Shepherd” on Saturday, December 1 at 5:00 p.m. in their sanctuary. This work is inspired by the book, Rise Up, Shepherd!: Advent Reflections on the Spirituals by Luke A. Rowery.
In a world where our society seems fractured; broken and divided – economically, racially, politically and religiously – we find that these social splinters can create a sense of hopelessness and despair with no end in sight. The Spirituals are songs sung by people living through brutal times, yet are resonating with hope. These songs, music memorabilia, reveal the possibility of hope in times of despair, light in the midst of darkness, love in the face of hate; not unlike the season of Advent, a season that is built on the hope of the coming of Jesus Christ.
“Rise Up Shepherd” is a beautiful blend of music and word. Featured ensembles will include the Trinity Choir, Trinity Brass, Trinity Strings, Trinity Bronze Choir and Clappers and Coffee Bell Choir. May the word and music we share help you find your hope in this season of Advent.
All are welcome. Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 213 North Pennsylvania Avenue, Mason City, Iowa.
