Handel’s Messiah

Sunday December 7 at 4:00pm

On Sunday, December 7 at 4:00pm, the Concert Series and Music Ministry of Palm Coast United Methodist Church is presenting the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah. Complete with professional soloists, a large Festival Chorus and the Chamber Players of Palm Coast providing the orchestral accompaniment, these concerts will be a wonderful blessing to both singers and audience as we celebrate the birthday of our Savior! This concert has become a wonderful community outreach, as well as a Christmas tradition in our community. In addition to the Christmas selections from Handel’s Messiah, the concert will conclude with the majestic Hallelujah Chorus. The large Festival Chorus is comprised of singers from PCUMC, plus singers from local churches and chorales. The concert, directed by Paige Dashner Long, is free and open to all and there will be a free will offering at the end of the concert. Please bring family and friends!

“300 years is plenty of time for something to go out of style. But don’t tell that to George Frideric Handel, who composed a bit of music back in the mid- 18^th century that refuses to go away. His smash hit, Messiah, is among the world’s most performed works, especially during the holidays and shows no signs of slowing down.” says music historian Kurt Loft.

Your generous support makes it possible to bring this wonderful concert to our local community. At the end of this article, please see important details on how to support this annual Christmas tradition in our community.

Handel’s Messiah, based entirely on scripture, consists of three parts. Part 1, often referred to as the Christmas portion, is typically performed during the Christmas season. Part 1 includes music which foretells the Christmas story, including prophecies by Isaiah and others, the birth of Christ, and the annunciation to the shepherds. Part 1 is the portion of Handel’s Messiah to be presented on December 7, and is about 55 minutes in length. The concert will end with Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus from Part 2 of the Messiah. See you at the concert!

How can you participate?

1. Pray for a successful concert which tells the Christmas story in song.

2. Attend Handel’s Messiah concert, either by singing in the festival chorus or enjoying the concert in the audience. Singers from our congregation and community are invited to sing in the Festival Chorus. Please contact the church office for details.

3. Help sponsor the concert with a monetary contribution to help offset costs. Sponsorships, for any amount, are welcome. This annual concert is not possible without your generous support. Please use the “Messiah Concert” envelope in your Sunday bulletin or contact the church office for details.

🦃 THANKSGIVING AT OUR FATHER’S TABLE

Mathew 25:35 SAYS: “For I was hungry, and you gave ME food.”

Thanksgiving is on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025. For the seventeenth year, our church is collaborating with Team Feed Flagler to provide food for needy individuals and families in our community. For this, we need your help. Please consider volunteering in one or more of the following ways:

BAKE A TURKEY: We will give you the turkey to take home,

bake, cut from the bone, place in a plastic bag, and bring

back to the church on Wed., Nov. 26th, the day before Thanksgiving. We’ll have 25 turkeys for volunteers to cook!

VOLUNTEER THANKSGIVING DAY: You can serve from 9 to noon or from noon to 3 pm. The early shift will prepare the food: cut up ingredients (peppers, onions, etc.,), fill cranberry sauce cups, prepare dessert/plasticware packets, etc.

The second shift will pack dinners to be delivered or picked up. They will also help clean up.

Teens and others can serve as “Runners” between the registration desk and the kitchen, to get the food and bring it to those picking up.

BE A DRIVER: Deliver meals to those unable to come pick them up.

ALERT THE OFFICE: If you, or someone you know, would like a Thanksgiving meal, please call the church office to let us know. This will give us an idea of how many dinners to prepare.

Thanksgiving is a day we can thank the Lord by sharing our blessings and being blessings to others. Let us worship the Lord by extending His love in our community.

Marva Jones, Thanksgiving Coordinator for Our Father’s Table/Team Feed Flagler

Thea Hines Jones, Kitchen Administrator and Coordinator, Our Father’s Table.

🛍 Help Needed!

We’re in need of plastic bags and brown paper bags for meal packaging — we use hundreds each week! Donations can be placed in the baskets outside the kitchen.

We’re also looking for volunteer drivers to help pick up heavy boxes of food from our generous retail partners, Publix and BJ’s, on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

If you’re able to help, please contact Michele Seyfert at 610-507-8061.

Thank you for supporting this important ministry.
