Christmas Cantata in Evanston IL 2013

GRACIAS CHOIR CHRISTMAS CANTATA IN OCTOBER AT EVANSTON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL:  A music and stage spectacle that has touched the lives of people in over 40 countries around the world for the past 13 years.  It has graced such stages as the Sydney Opera House, the Madison Square Garden, Eisenstadt  Haydn Hall for the 200th death anniversary of Haydn, the Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory, and the 11th International Choral Festival Opening Ceremony held at the MasterCard Center in Beijing, China.  All the more, special concert performances by personal invitation for the Presidents of Tanzania, Uganda, Ghana and Benin.  First time audience would think that because of the "Gracias" title which meant "Thank You" in Spanish that the choir and performers were from Spain and South American countries.  The Gracias Choir was founded in South Korea by Christian Pastor Ock Soo Park.  In 2009, it was the Grand Prize winner of the Jeju International Choir Festival and in 2010, the Grand Prize in Mixed Chorus, Silver Prize in Women's Chorus, and Excellent Conductor's Award, Busan International Choir Competition.  Their 2013 US Tour started September 27 in Boston's Chevalier Theatre and ending today October 14 in Toronto's Global Kingdom Ministries.  Then the Gracias Cantata Choir will be back in South Korea to begin their 40 countries tour again to spread good cheers and joy.

I heard on the Rush Limbaugh Talk Show yesterday http://www.wlsam.com that there will be a fee when buying a real live Christmas trees because people are buying more artificial Christmas trees.  This is another cockamamie idea by Obama Administration of business warfare - business against business.  Uh-uh, no tree monopoly.  But, it's to be expected from him whose blood father was a Muslim and whose mother was an atheist (?).  Not that it matters, I don't care about the religion of these people.   Yet, because it's his political and environmental agenda, it's okay to squander half a billion dollars in bankrupt Solyndra ( he was present in the corporate building - don't ever deny), and forget about the whole thing!  What a waste of taxpayers money.

Subject: FW: Christmas Cards (Reminder) See below - Show them our "Christmas Spirit" Kindest Regards, Mary From: Debbie  Christmas Cards (Reminder) CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE: What a clever idea! Yes, Christmas cards. This is coming early so that you can get ready to include an important address to your list. Want to have some fun this CHRISTMAS? Send the ACLU a CHRISTMAS CARD this year. As they are working so very hard to get rid of the CHRISTMAS part of this holiday, we should all send them a nice, card to brighten up their dark, sad, little world. Make sure it says "Merry Christmas" on it. Here's the address, just don't be rude or crude: ACLU 125 Broad Street , 18th Floor New York , NY 10004 Two tons of Christmas cards would freeze their operations because they wouldn't know if any were regular mail containing contributions. So spend 44 cents and tell the ACLU to leave Christmas alone. Also tell them that there is no such thing as a " Holiday Tree". It's always been called a CHRISTMAS TREE! And pass this on to your email lists. We really want to communicate with the ACLU! They really DESERVE us!! For those of you who aren't aware of them, the ACLU, (the American Civil Liberties Union) is the one suing the U.S. Government to take God, Christmas or anything religious away from us. They represent the atheists and others in this war. Help put Christ back in Christmas! ** Suggestion: Pass this on to your church, co-workers, family, and friends. What do you have to lose but 44 cents, what do you have to gain --- more than you may ever know possible.
