Christmas Concert and Congregation Sing-Along at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at First Missionary Baptist Church, 801 E. Gordon St.
The choir was established in 2010.
The goal of the Commuity Voices Worship and Arts Ministry is to inspire recruit choir members from across Eastern North Carolina, from all types of denominations, to pursue excellence in performance with an attitude of humility, purity, sensitivity and strength.
The group always welcomes instrumentalist, vocalists and mime dancers.
The Choir has sponsored music worships with trained skills for musicians, music leaders and choir directors.
The choir has also sponsored concerts in the area with national recording artists such as J. W. & Higher Prayze, Salvation and Deliverance Choir and others. The choir has also rendered music and fellowship with other local music groups such as Terrell Powell and The Powerful Praise Choral, D. J. Fox and the Voices of Triumph, The United American Free Will Baptist Tabernacle Choir and others.
This year the concert will feature two concerts.
The first will feature the choir in concert and the second will be a congregation sing-along in which the congregation will be the choir. Anyone can lead the songs, including Christmas carols or hymns from the congregation.
There is no rehearsal or audition needed.
