Handmaid of the Lord is a contemporary evening of music and readings that tells the story of Christmas taking place on Saturday, December 15th at 7:00 pm at First Mennonite Church, 922 Notre Dame Ave. Local composer Monika Wall wrote the work with the intent that everyone, not just church attendees, hear the Christmas story. The music is modern, some of it is even jazzy, and the readings are from the Bible. There is no fee to attend, a free will offering will be taken.
