Ecumenical Choir brings the true spirit of Christmas to Peru
By John T. Ryan
St. Augustine’s Church was filled to capacity Sunday night as the Keeseville-Peru Ecumenical Choir performed its 46th Annual Concert. Directed by Jeanette Woodruff and accompanied by pianist Carol Bachand and organist Steve Woodruff, the seventy member choir sang seventeen songs. Emotions ran high beginning with the very first song when the choir surrounded the 425-member audience and sang “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” Fourteen songs followed before the choir thrilled audiences with their beautiful renditions of “The Hallelujah Chorus” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”
Rev. Robert Svenson of the Peru Community Church welcomed everyone and Rev. Alan Shnob of St. Augustine’s Church delivered the Christmas Message. Rev. Shnob quoted St. Augustine who said, “Singing is like praying twice” as he emphasized how wonderful it is to have such beautiful music to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

St. Augustine’s Knights of Columbus members and their wives served refreshments following the concert.
