Singers from Sturgis and Whitewood continue a 38-year old Christmas tradition when they join in song on Sunday, December 11th at 2:00 p.m. at the Sturgis Community Center Theater. The Annual Community Christmas Concert, a favorite holiday tradition, has been performed consistently since 1979, when it first was held at Grace Lutheran Church.

Area church choirs have been busy rehearsing for this special event as they prepare for their individual performances. All of the choirs will blend into one huge choir for the concert’s finale piece, which will be directed by Brenda Schaffer, choir director at First Presbyterian Church. Brenda is arranging a handbell accompaniment to this year’s selection, “Introit on O Come, All Ye Faithful” by Brad Nix. All will recognize this beloved carol and Nix has arranged a triumphant opening fanfare to introduce the piece.

Don’t miss this enjoyable musical holiday tradition!
