He Is Risen!

Brass Band in Happy Valley Moravian
The season of Lent, Holy Week and Easter is indeed a special time in the life of Moravians of Labrador.  The joy of our salvation comes to life in English and Inuktitut; through the Word of God and through Moravian hymns and anthems.  What a bless-ed journey it is each year, and it is with good reason that Moravians around the world are referred to as the "Easter People."    

This year's Lenten journey into Easter became even more alive with the beautiful music performed by the combination of the congregation musicians and the talents of Dr. Tom Gordon & his team of MUN musicians.  The Nain, Makkovik, Hopedale, and Happy Valley congregations were treated to hear some of the locally composed choral anthems of generations before, as well as beautiful Moravian hymns of an ensemble of 2 trombones, 2 trumpets and a euphonium. This heritage is truely something to be very proud of and "Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ, our Lord."

Many many thanks to the Memorial University School of Music contention and we look forward to the compilation of all of Dr. Gordon's efforts forthcoming.  On behalf of the Province and each congregation, THANK YOU!

Thank you as well to all of the congregation musicians; utilizing their talents, their memories, and to all that led worship for the benefit of all.  What a blessing it is to be brothers and sisters in Christ; united one in the Name of Christ.  May blessings abound as we all come together in unity in spirit; worshipping our Sovereign Lord God.  Amen!
