Sing and listen as a festival choir, nationally renowned musicians, and assembly come together to lift up the joy of making music in community. Reception to follow. This event is free and open to the public.

Robert Buckley Farlee was pastor and cantor at Christ Church Lutheran for over forty years and is a renowned composer of hymns and liturgical music.
