The LJPC Chancel Choir and professional orchestra under the direction of Dr. Keith Pedersen celebrate Christ's birth with a program featuring Bach's masterwork, Magnificat. In music that juxtaposes jubilation, wonder, and awe, Bach reflects on Mary's response to the news that she will bear the Messiah.

This annual Christmas concert for the community will also showcase the Handbell, Chancel, Youth and Children's Choirs performing traditional carols and Christmas favorites. No tickets are required; a free-will offering will be received. Free parking in underground garage accessed from Kline Street. 858-729-5511.
