A Time To Celebrate ‘Comfort and Joy’

A seasonal staple at The Master’s University, the 39th annual Come Christmas Sing! concerts will take place on Dec. 1 and 2. This year’s program, titled “Comfort and Joy,” is structured around nine Scripture passages outlining God’s redemptive plan, from the fall of Adam through the incarnation. Musical selections featuring TMU’s choral and instrumental ensembles and soloists will coordinate with the Bible readings. Audience members will also be invited to join the choir and orchestra in singing familiar carols.

Dr. Don Hedges, dean of the Paul T. Plew School of Music, describes the mix of traditional carols, folk settings, and concert music as a “mosaic” of varied but cohesive pieces.

“The larger purpose,” he says, “is to help attendees focus on the true meaning of Christmas right at the beginning of the season. We want to be the first to wish people in our community a merry Christmas, and to lift our voices in song together with theirs in praise of the One who ‘became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich.’”
