But that’s not all! The concert will also feature the First United Methodist handbell choir, aptly named Small But Mighty, which will join in for a spectacular finale that is not to be missed. Their unique sound adds a magical twist to the traditional holiday music we all love.

Adding more flair to the evening, there will be stunning instrumental duets presented by the talented duo of Susan Heaton and Scott Reynolds. It’s a perfect way to showcase a blend of vocal and instrumental performances that will fill the church with warmth and joy.

What If It Rains?

In typical December fashion, Elizabethton may face some unpredictable weather. If, by chance, Mother Nature decides to sprinkle a little rain on our parade, the concert will be postponed to Monday, December 16. So, be sure to mark your calendars and keep an eye on the weather forecast!
