 Signal Mountain Presbyterian Church is welcoming Christmas the way first-century Christians did – as Israel’s gift to the world. |
The Choirs will wear pashminas (traditional scarves) and kippot (yarmulkes) brought from the Old City section of Jerusalem. The conductor and cantor will wear the authentic rabbinical tallit (prayer shawl). According to Music Director Steven Phillips, these vestments are donned “with great respect and gratitude for the Hebrew people, whose rich history and culture formed the origins of our Christian faith.” He adds, “Our desire is to show our solidarity with and love for the Jewish people, who have given the world an inspiring example of strength, hope, and perseverance.”
The public is invited to this unique and joyful celebration, presented at no charge to the communities of Chattanooga and Signal Mountain on Friday, Dec. 11 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 6 p.m. The church is located on Signal Mountain at 612 James Boulevard. An early arrival is recommended for ease of parking and seating. Childcare is available. For information call 886-2190 or visit www.signalpres.org.
