The National Christian Choir accompanied by the Magi Children's Choir put on a show 2nd to none Saturday night and Sunday morning.
160 children from Holly Grove Christian School, Pemberton Elementary School, Salisbury Christian School, Fruitland Intermediate School, North Salisbury Elementary School and Asbury Church delivered a spectacular performance and helped raise more than $40,000.00 this year for the Magi Fund. These funds are used to help support the Joseph House Center as well as the Salisbury Christian Center.
Out of nowhere, Sheriff Mike Lewis and Conductor Jim Perdue, (lol) came on stage in the middle of a performance and started ringing the bell for the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army has partnered up with the Magi Fund to help raise money for those in need.
It was a spectacular evening and I must admit, Jim Perdue did a fantastic job conducting the National Christian Choir. Sheriff Lewis, keep your day job. ;-)
I attended the Sunday afternoon concert and it was fantastic. I believe the total was up to $50,000 by days end but I could be mistaken. Capt. Henderson of the Salvation Army was the guest conductor for that show. I would encourage all to get tickets next year and get them early as both shows sold out early. It is well worth a 2 hour time out with the money raised going to good causes.
ReplyDeleteWe have attended for the past 6 years, continuing after our son was in the children's choir. The opportunity to see a choir of the caliber of the National Christian Choir in a local venue, coupled with the very low ticket price and including the Magi Children's Choir is a perfect way to start the holiday season!
ReplyDeleteA second soprano with The National Christian Choir, this is my fourth year singing at the Magi Fund celebration in Salisbury, and it's getting better every year! The addition of the "pop-ups" on the stage in the form of Salvation Army bellringers was such fun! The children's choirs (as heard from the hallway behind the stage where we wait to go on) are getting better and better. The audiences are awesome! The Lord is at work in so many ways during this weekend. I especially look forward to the Sunday morning worship service at Wicomico High School. Thank you, thank you for the honor and privilege of participating!
