La Fiesta de la Posada

On December 18 Pilgrim's worship service will include a performance of Dave Brubeck's Christmas Cantata, "La Fiesta de La Posada." This jazz work is based on the Spanish/Latin American tradition of searching for the child Jesus in Bethlehem. There will be a mariachi orchestra, guest musicians, children from the Lake Superior Youth Chorus, all conducted by Russell Gloyd, Brubeck's personal friend. Gloyd has conducted performances of this work all over the United States and overseas.

Pilgrims will go caroling in the afternoon. Meet at the church at 3:45 p.m. There will be a light supper served after carolling.
