Clarksbury UMC to present ‘Joy Has Dawned’ cantata

The Clarksbury United Methodist Church chancel choir will present a Christmas cantata titled “Joy Has Dawned” on Sunday, December 22, at 11 a.m. during the morning worship service in Deltaville. The cantata was composed and arranged by Lloyd Larson.

This composer explains that “the message of Christmas is truly a message of joy! It is an eternal message for all . . . and a message to be embraced in the good days and the bad days. Joy has dawned upon the world.” Larson reminds us that “true joy—deep joy—is not founded in the moments of life, but on the Creator of life.”

The choir will share this message of joy through four-part harmony, solos, and a quartet. The selections include new and familiar carols and spirituals.

“Please join us to celebrate this message of joy!” said a church spokesperson.
