The Best of Renewal Choir was a symphony of joyful noise positioned at the start of the choir’s 10 year anniversary celebrations.In staging this year’s celebration, For this special event Renewal successfully achieved its mission to bring an important focus to thanking God for keeping Renewal vibrant and “renewed” through its first 10 years of ministry .
This Christmas celebration event not only reflected Christ’s first coming to Earth as a baby, but also served as a reminder of the good news that God’s presence is among us today through the Holy Spirit.
Renewal delivered a repitiore of our most popular songs rendered by the choir over the years (and voted on by its current membership of 65 individuals), and as always, this year’s celebration event was also geared towards encouraging the audiences spiritual preparation for the Christmas season as a refreshing break from the madness of the commercialism and shopping pressures typical of the time of year.
