Join us for a Gloria Dei tradition of 40+ years - the Christmas Cantata! Our cantata each year features the Sanctuary Singers accompanied by an orchestra and is a great way to celebrate the Christmas season.

The title of this year’s cantata is A Weary World Rejoices by Joseph M. Martin. Our world is still recovering from a global pandemic. We grieve over the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Political rancor brings increased tension and anxiety. Individuals are dealing with their own stresses and difficulties. In the midst of it all, our cantata reminds us that God sees and cares. Hope shines like a star in the darkness as we celebrate the coming of Jesus, who came to redeem, restore, and renew. He is Emmanuel: God with us - here, today, just as it has always been.
