The folk music of the British Isles has long inspired the imagination of musicians everywhere for centuries. Indeed, Celticstyled music has emerged as one of the most influential forces in contemporary popular music. Modern sacred music has also been influenced by this great treasury of music and poetry. Filled with rich style and purpose, these timeless tunes have the power to animate our churches with jubilant praise and to touch our hearts with quiet comfort and hope.

Please plan on attending one or both of the choir’s performances, especially to enjoy Celtic-styled music. For more information, call the Blakeslee church office at 570-646-7727.
