The Emmanuel Church-Morrison’s “Voices of Praise” cordially invites the area to celebrate with them, as they present EVOP’s 17th annual Spring concerts, “The Answer…Jesus!” They will be presented in three services, Friday and Sunday evenings, April 4 and 6, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. and at a Saturday, April 5, matinee at 3:00 p.m.
Voices of Praise’s platform will be filled with 75 singers. They will energetically present music that is so timely, for all that is happening in this world. This collection really has it all–upbeat, powerful praise, to throw-down church, to deep moving worship–it’s here.
Soloists joining the choir in these concerts are Brianne Borgman, Rich Criss, and Jeff McDearmon.
“Voices of Praise” Director Rich Criss said, “When I heard this brand new collection, I knew this was what we needed to sing at this time, and in this place. This cantata is so relevant to what is happening in this world….[It] gives us such hope through the powerful reminder that God loves each of us so much! Even as the choir has rehearsed, we have literally been moved to both goosebumps and tears, because of the power behind this work. This is honestly like no other slate of songs I have ever directed in 30 years of doing so. I can promise you that your heart will be moved.”
No tickets are needed for this 70-minute concert. A free-will offering will be received. All ages are welcome, and the church is handicapped accessible. A fellowship hour will follow all performances, hosted by the women of Emmanuel.
A free shuttle bus will be provided for one hour prior to and following all three services. This shuttle bus will pick up from Ebenezer Reformed Church’s parking lot [309 E. Park Street, Morrison, IL,] just two blocks south of Emmanuel’s campus, dropping you off at the curb in front of Emmanuel.
