Silent Night - Together
Singing Silent Night together as a congregation is a something that no virtual experience can replace, but we can join our voices together in a different way this year and still celebrate the birth of Jesus.
You’ve probably seen our choir and band put together music remotely, and now we’d love to have you join in the fun! Here’s a quick video showing you how to record your family or yourself singing Silent Night. We’ll mix all the videos together to form a big congregational chorus and share that in our Christmas Eve Service. Don’t worry about how you sound alone, we’ll all sound good together.
