It was into the shadows and winter of this world that Christ came to bring us the light and warmth of his salvation. The new cantata, Winter's Grace , from renowned composer Joseph M. Martin celebrates this great light and washes the sanctuary with the message of hope, peace, joy and love using a program of candles, scriptures, prayers and music. The incorporation of familiar carols will engage the listener and ease the learning process.
