The Max Duodu Presbyterian Church Choir has told a different Christmas story from what is publicly known across the world at its nine Lessons and Carols.
The programme held Sunday inside the auditorium of the Lartebiokorshie church, walked the audience through what humanity lost when the first man sinned.
With readings from the scripture and carols, the 29-member choir led by the Choirmaster Seth Annor Antwi told the story of Christmas from creation, fall of humanity and earliest promises of redemption through Jesus the Messiah.
The delivery by the choir was succinct and organist, Ebenezer Nii Kpakpo Allotey found himself dictating the mood in the auditorium.
At a point, it felt the audience was watching the final of the UEFA Champions League as its signature anthem dotted the ‘Emmanuel’ song sung by the choir.
If 16th Century King Herod had been alive, he would have shaken in his palace as Mr Antwi and his team sang ‘Herode Kpokpo’ – a song distinguished by its tune.
He would have been disturbed as he was when he heard the birth of the "King of Jews" from the Magi who had seen the star in the east and went to worship him.
The Christmas message delivered by Reverend Nortey Adjei concluded with a vision of the consummation of all things from the very end of the Bible.
The event ended on a love note when Mrs Elizabeth Tetteh was honoured for her extraordinary contributions towards the growth of the church and groups.
The choristers included Grace Yeboah, Rebecca Dodoo, Lizzel Ayaado, Alberta Adjei, Magdalene Adotey-Nyanu, Dorothy Rawlings Agudugo, Rose Ladi, Theophilia Lutterodt and Karen Dodoo.
The rest are Angelina Baisel, Krystyne Quarcoo, Gifty Tettey, Mary Amoah, Veronica Antwi, Doris Ayebea Ayeh, Frieda Korkoryi, Jemimah Acquah, Comfort Otoo and Lydia Yeboah.
The tenors are Yvonne Korkoryi, Samuel Boye, Daniel Attah and Allen Okine, while the bases are Hackman Donkor, Eureka Borquaye, Emmanuel Borquaye and Joshua Oppong.
