SHARING OUR FAITH COMMUNITY's HOLIDAY MUSIC

-----------------------------------------

If your faith community is located in the Silver Spring Regional Area*; you are offering a holiday concert; you’d welcome neighbors of different faiths joining in; and, it is free, we invite you to post the details as a ‘comment’ on this blog. We’ll take care of gathering the info, making a comprehensive list, and e-blasting it.

One of the neatest things about living in Silver Spring Regional Area is the incredible number of faith communities that dot our landscape. With the holidays coming up, many of these faith communities will be celebrating with music concerts.

Most often these musical events are welcoming of all, regardless of congregational membership or faith orientation. Some of the most vibrant, exhilarating holiday music we hear is oftentimes from faith traditions other than our own. These concerts and musical events can be truly beautiful and a great opportunity to celebrate what connects us.

Our faith communities are a major integral part of our cultural fabric and provide solid anchors to our civic and social justice work. The agendas of different faith communities often intersect in the work they do with the disadvantaged. However, we are oftentimes so busy doing good in our focused project or program that we forget to check in with our neighboring faith communities to see if by occasionally collaborating we could have a more pronounced impact… Maybe by listening and enjoying each other’s music we can begin establishing the rapport that could lead to many possibilities in 2012!
