There’s plenty of music in the air this weekend across East Cobb, as the Christmas and Hanukkah seasons overlap.
Two East Cobb congregation choirs are joining together for what they’re calling “There’s A Song in the Air” concerts at each respective church.
The first is Friday from 7-8 p.m. at Grace Resurrection Methodist Church (1200 Indian Hills Parkway) and then on Sunday from 5-6 p.m. at East Cobb United Methodist Church (2325 Roswell Road).
The public is invited to these free events.
Likewise, east and west Cobb churches and the Georgia Festival Chorus are combining for “Handel’s Messiah Sing-Along” concerts in two parts. The first is Saturday at 6 p.m. at Due West Methodist Church (3956 Due West Road) for Part I, followed on Sunday at 4 p.m. at Eastminster Presbyterian Church (3125 Sewell Mill Road).
The concerts are free and open to the public.
The annual Christmas at Johnson Ferry festivities this year are dubbed “Sounds of the Season,” featuring a Christmas concert in the sanctuary, with the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church choir, orchestra, sing team, students and children in performance, followed by what we’re told are very, very snowy family activities in a winter wonderland setting.
The free events are Saturday-Sunday from 5-730 p.m. at the church (955 Johnson Ferry Road).
The last two shows of CenterStage North Theatre’s “A Dickens’ Christmas Carol” are set for Thursday-Friday starting at 7 p.m. at The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road).
The Styckes Upon Thump Repertory Company embarks on its fifteenth annual tour of the Dickens classic, subtitled “A Traveling Travesty in Two Tumultuous Acts.”
Tickets are $15-$27.
The weather on Saturday should be pleasant enough for another Hyde Farm Walking Tour. Cobb PARKS leads tours at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. to explore the 1840s-era working farm, as well as fields, pastures an orchard and more natural wonders near the banks of the Chattahoochee River.
The tours are free and participants should gather near the red gate at the end of the parking lot. Call 770-528-8840 for information.
The Hanukkah season is getting underway, and once again the Chabad of Cobb synagogue will lead the celebrations with a Menorah Lighting at Avenue East Cobb on Sunday.
The free family-friendly activities begin at 5:30 p.m. with music and treats, including the Gelt Drop, with chocolates falling out of the sky, thanks to Cobb Fire Ladder 20.
