Daniel’s Ballad ADvent Event

A live musical presentation of Daniel’s Ballad, A Folk Opera will be offered in the nave at St. Simon’s. This musical event takes us further into the fascinating Old Testament Book of Daniel. While the previous experience of Daniel’s Ballad celebrated the stories of the exiled Judeans as recorded in Chapters 1-6, the coming presentation reprises those events and delves further into Daniel’s dreams and visions as described in the later chapters of Daniel.

Ellen Sheppard and her sister Scottie Fredrickson have written a lively and entertaining musical concerning the challenges facing Daniel and his friends during the Babylonian exile, then reaches further into the descriptions of Daniel’s own visions and revelations as described in chapters 7-12.

Sometimes toe-tapping, sometimes emotionally dark, the historical events of the Judean exiles, as well Daniel’s vivid descriptions, are interspersed with the Gospel message to further illustrate God’s plan for His children.

A reception in the Atrium will follow the hour-long musical production. Stay and meet the writers and the other artists involved, including John Zirpola, Doug Bowers, Donnie Morgan and JoAnne Schwab.

The concert is FREE, but donations are encouraged! All proceeds from Daniel’s Ballad Advent Event will benefit St. Simon’s Outreach Ministries.
