Southtown Guitar is putting on a Lessons & Carols service at Calvin Christian Reformed Church on December 8 at 6:30pm. Our folk orchestra will accompany the congregational singing for 5 songs during the service and is open to any/all instruments. This is an opportunity to be a part of an encouraging and fun large ensemble composed of amateur musicians of all levels (i.e. beginners are most welcome and encouraged to join!).
We want you to be a part of the folk orchestra! Check out the music below and visit this page to sign up.
The folk orchestra will be playing these songs:
Once in Royal David’s City
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Lo! How a Rose E’er Blooming
The First Noel
Jesus Christ, the Apple Tree
