On behalf of the Community Cantata Choir’s 2009 Christmas tour featuring “A Baby Changes Everything”, we wish to thank the community in general, our ten hosting congregations, McMinnville Community Media, First Federal Savings & Loan and local newspapers in particular, and all the wonderful angels and Prayer Partners that made our season a tremendous success.

The Choir’s triple focus is upon making music, worshiping and “singing for supper” so that our neighbors may be fed.

For many years, the Choir has partnered with YCAP’s Yamhill County Food Bank and a couple local churches to help keep their pantries stocked through the winter.

Through free-will offerings at our 2009 events in Dayton, McMinnville, Newberg, Sherwood and Yamhill, and the generosity of matching funds from Thrivent for Lutherans, more than $11,200 was contributed in support of this ministry. Our goal for the season was met!

We are immensely proud of this talented and wonderful assembly of musicians and extremely thrilled and grateful to all who have participated and sacrificed to serve during this season.

We’ll see you at rehearsals next October (see How To Join).
