The Tree
of Life Unitarian Universalist Congregation,
5603 Bull Valley Road in McHenry, Illinois will present its annual Holiday Concert featuring
the Adult Choir and the new children’s Boomwhacker ensemble at regular services this Sunday, December 18 at 10:45 a.m. The public is invited.
This is the first year the program will be led
by Tree of Life’s new Music Director,
Forrest Ransburg. “We hope to make you smile, cheer, laugh
(perhaps even guffaw), and feel inspired. Enjoy this warm concert filled to the
brim with season’s greetings!” he said.

The program will be a mix of traditional Christmas and holiday songs both sacred
and secular, art music, and A
Consort of Choral Christmas Carols by P.D.Q. Bach. Ron Relic will be the soloist for I Wonder as I Wander and Carrie McDonald will be featured in Happy Xmas (The War is
Over).
Children from the Church School
have formed an ensemble and have been practicing
for weeks. They play Boomwhackers, tuned plastic percussion tubes that can
be played similar to hand bells.
There is plenty
of parking and childcare is
available for infants and toddlers. The building
and sanctuary are wheel-chair accessible. Refreshments will be served in the Social Room during coffee hour after the concert.
There is no
admission charge for the performance, but a free-will collection will be taken.
