The power of music to lift the soul . . .

Pause a moment to simply be and experience God’s love through this special musical offering of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah as performed by the Grand Rapids Symphony and the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus under the direction of Marcel Lehniger. (See if you can find any fellow Presbyterians in the performance.)   

Then see if you can locate the Rev. Ainsley Herrick, a Jackson native and former presbytery member now serving at Morrilton First Presbyterian Church in Arkansas, in this performance of The Strife is O’er by The Episcopal Church Virtual Choir and Orchestra. The performance to celebrate Easter combines nearly 800 submissions from more than 600 participants all around the world.
