The message for the third Sunday of Advent on December 17 at the Minetto United Methodist Church will be presented in word and song. The Chancel Choir, under the direction of Mary Lou Bjorkman, accompanied by Ernest Papay, will present a cantata entitled, Sing with the Angels! written by Joel Raney. The cantata includes original music interspersed with familiar carols to re-tell the Christmas story from the viewpoint of angels.
As stated in the Foreword of the score, “Angels are referenced throughout the scriptures and play a major role in the story of Christ’s birth, from Gabriel’s first appearance to Zacharias, to the glorious scene of angels filling the heavens singing ‘Gloria in excelsis Deo’.” The program concludes with the congregation joining to sing “Angels We Have Heard on High,” and “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing.”
The service begins at 10:00 a.m. The church is located at the corner of State Route 48 and County Route 8, one block south of the Stewarts Shop, midway between Oswego and Fulton, in the village of Minetto. Its physical address for GPS purposes is 2433 County Route 8, Oswego, NY 13126. The mailing address is PO Box 217, Minetto, NY 13115. The church phone is 315-343-3465.
The building is fully accessible.
We look forward seeing you!
