SUMMARY:Music Fine Arts Christmas Gala - December 20 - 7:00pm
DESCRIPTION:As the glow of candlelight fills the sanctuary and the first notes rise into the vaulted ceiling\, we invite you to leave the hurried pace of the season behind and enter an evening of beauty\, wonder\, and celebration.

The celebration continues with the enchanting Christmas carol arrangements of Disney arranger Derrick Johnson\, performed by the choirs of First UMC and joined by the phenomenal youth choirs of Rowlett Academy and Dan Nolan Middle School. Together\, these gifted musicians will fill the sanctuary with the warmth\, excitement\, and joy that have made Christmas music a treasured part of our lives. Adding further richness to the evening are luminous works by Morten Lauridsen and John Rutter\, along with the heartwarming O Joyful Children by Lee Holdridge\, creating a musical journey that spans centuries while celebrating the enduring message of Christmas. Admission is complimentary\; however\, seating is limited. We encourage guests to arrive early to enjoy this unforgettable celebration of Christmas. Complimentary Valet. Performance time: 75 minutes
