1. Introduction | UTSOVIK GIT | THE GIFT OF HOPE | St. Bartholomew’s Parish Choir |

Описание: The Gift of Hope is a soul-stirring Gospel Concert presented by the St. Bartholomew’s Parish Choir on 30th November 2025, marking the beginning of the holy season of Advent.

Inspired by the pastoral theme “Hope Doesn’t Disappoint Us,” this evening of music reflected the joyful anticipation of Christ’s coming.
The first Advent candle, symbolizing Hope and Prophecy, recalls God’s promise of a Savior and reminds us that Christ, our Light, has come and will come again. Woven together with the Joyful Mysteries and Worship songs, the concert beautifully highlighted the birth of Jesus — the hope given to us through Mary, who was chosen to bring our Savior into the world.
