Tree Lighting at the Capitol and the Sing Out For Freedom Concert


On Friday, December 6, 2008, the St. Elizabeth Gospel Choir took part in the annual State Capitol Tree Lighting Ceremony. Tim Kaine and Anne Holton had invited us to sing Christmas Carols for the annual event.

Afterwards, we gathered in the Executive Mansion for hot cider and cookies and a photograph with Anne and Tim in front of the Mansion Christmas Tree. A number of our St. Elizabeth's parishioners were among the guests who toured the Mansion after the tree lighting ceremony. We were indeed honored to be able to add our voices to the festivities this year.




SING OUT FOR FREEDOM
PRAY FOR PEACE!

This annual Interfaith Choir Concert took place on Sunday, January 25, 2009 at Congregation Beth Ahabah in Richmond. The concert is sponsored by Living the Dream and Beth Ahabah.

As the brochure notes, it is "A concert of consolation and joy dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11 and in its aftermath and in commemoration of the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."

We have been part of this concert event most of the past 8 years of its existence and it is one of our favorite concerts; one we look forward to every year.

We saw several of our parishioners in attendance; which we are always grateful for as a show of support for our efforts.
