Children’s Choir Performance: Acorns to Oaks

Posted on 03/04/2011 by Rich Shipe

The Blue Ridge Children’s Choir will be performing Celeste Clydesale’s Acorns to Oaks as our spring musical, tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 10, 2011. This fun-to-sing musical teaches children about growing in Christ from acorns to mighty oaks of righteousness. (Isaiah 61:3 – “So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.”)

As the children help Mr. MacDonald with his harvest, he teaches them the parable of the seed and the sower. When they’re visited by some mischievous crows and rumor weeds, they begin to understand that the best way to produce the fruit God desires in their lives is to plant their roots firmly in God’s Word.

All children ages 7 to 13 (as of January 1, 2011) are welcome to join the choir for this production. The musical contains 10 songs which the entire choir will be performing together with no auditions necessary. There will be auditions for speaking roles and solos, tentatively scheduled for March 30 and April 3. Every child in choir is welcome to audition.

The 2008-2009 choir season is shaping up to be a very exciting year!
