Lenten Cantata: In My Place

Posted on February 18, 2016 By Editor

The Chancel choir of Ortega United Methodist Church will present the Lenten cantata, In My Place, on Sunday, March 13 at 10 a.m. .  This cantata, accompanied by Charlie Mann, pianist, and an orchestra comprised of members of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, makes use of the nail as a tactile and audible symbol of our sins for which Christ was crucified.  Upon entering the sanctuary, each worshiper will be given a nail which they will hold during the cantata and deposit in a metal pail as they silently exit the sanctuary at the conclusion of the cantata.
