Four Hands, Four Feet: A Holiday Treat!

On December 6, Grace Artists in Residence, Lynn Clayton and Dr. Theresa Steward, performed a selection of Advent and Christmas classics for four-hand piano, organ and piano, as well as solo arrangements. There was something for everyone in this program of classical and popular favorites!

If you missed this wonderful holiday concert (or if you'd like to revisit the musical fun!) you can now watch the performance online on both Facebook and YouTube.

Giving still continues for the Ann Webb Pastor’s Benevolence Fund at Grace Baptist Church, so if you do watch online, please consider a small donation to support individuals and families in need, especially during this holiday season, not to mention the challenging weather conditions that can have a negative impact on many in our community. Over the years this fund has helped provide economic security for vulnerable individuals, missions support in Richmond, and has shown care and concern to many in the wide orbit of Grace Baptist Church.

Give online here, or mail in an offering (with checks payable to “Grace Baptist Church”) designated as "Grace Concert Series" in the memo: Grace Baptist Church, 4200 Dover Road, Richmond, VA 23221.

Meet the Artists:

Simultaneously she served as choir director or organist at several churches including Grace. She spends her retirement accompanying the Lakewood Singers and enjoying the musical efforts of her five grandchildren.
