Join Our Group Photo!
Join us on Pentecost Sunday, May 19th, as we celebrate the spirit of unity and fellowship! Following our uplifting worship service and right before the Maker's Market and Cake Auction, we invite you to step outside onto the portico for a photo of our family of faith. Let's capture the joy and togetherness of our community as we mark this particular moment in time in the life of our fellowship and celebrate all that is good in these days. See you there!
Central Virginia Masterworks Chorale
Love is in the air! The Central Virginia Masterworks Chorale will present the Virginia premiere of LOVE, a commissioned work composed by Dr. Willam Payn. Conducted by Ryan Tibbetts, LOVE will be performed by the Chorale with soprano and baritone soloists and string orchestra.
LOVE highlights lyrics taken from poems by notables including e.e. cummings, Langston Hughes, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning with narration by local celebrity Mike Goldberg. Mike is a classical music host at VPM and a meteorologist at CBS 6 in Richmond.
Based in Ashland, the Chorale is dedicated to bringing outstanding performances of choral music to Central Virginia. Don’t miss two opportunities to see and hear this vibrant premiere piece to celebrate LOVE.
