Every year at TPPC, special events help prepare us for the joy of Christmas. Here are a few of the events we’re planning.

It will be accompanied by strings, oboe, trumpet and organ. The Gloria, although known widely for less than one hundred years, has become the second most loved Christmas choral work across the Christian world and second only to Handel’s Messiah. Curiously enough, both works come from the Baroque period of music.

The choir will be supplemented by some of Dr. James Bingham’s former choral students, as are the required female soloists, and the orchestra will be lead by Dr. Preston Hawes of Washington Adventist University. 

The poinsettias will be in the sanctuary for both services on Christmas Eve. There is a link on the website that people can use to order poinsettias and there is also a form in the bulletin.

You need to order by December 17.

When more information is available, we’ll add these events to the list.
