The Messiah at the Crystal Cathedral

Two weeks ago Alvin and I and a friend from work decided to go see the free production of The Messiah at the Crystal Cathedral. We arrived at the church about a half hour before the production, and the church already had no room. We stood for about an hour in the back of the packed church, until they decided to set up chairs for the extra people. The church did a great job with the production, they had a church orchestra and choir. They also said the production was going to be aired on PBS, not sure when. The most interesting part of the night was the fact that there were so many people turned away, they said they were not prepared for the amount of people who showed up. It was crazy to be at a church production and see people locked out of the church because there was no room.

How appropriate - no room at the Inn - no room at Church?? Hope you enjoyed the production! The Messiah is a beautiful musical work. Nice to see some new pictures - even bad cell phone ones!
