Capacity Crowd Heard Choir Rendition
of Christmas Story” Sunday Evening
Standing room only was available at the choir’s rendition of
Die C hristmas Story" at Baptist Community Church Sunday
evening, and those who were fortunate enough to be present were
treated with music just little short of professional. Assisting the
choir were the Azalea Singers and several members of the Bar
bershop chorus. Mrs. Gilbert Christensen played “Holy City” on
the violin, in addition to the published program.
