HANDLE’S Messiah at 10th Presbyterian Church

Some of my new friends and I went to a concert at 10th Presbyterian Church downtown Philly on Good Friday. Their choir and orchestra performed part two and three of Fredrick Handel’s Messiah. The concert was absolutely wonderful. All the musicians were in the balcony. My friends and I sat on the side balcony so we could see their faces and hear the music well.

I love that all the words Handle used came directly from the Bible. You’re bathed in Scripture as you listen to the Messiah. My favorite part of the Messiah is “oh death where is thy sting, where is your victory?” Praise God for the Resurrection!
