All proceeds from this album go directly to supporting the life and ministry of Gethsemane Episcopal Church. Please give generously.
For more than 120 years, Gethsemane Episcopal has made its home in the heart of downtown Marion, Indiana. Over the last fifty years, this midwestern town has seen severe economic depression. Resisting opportunities to move to richer neighborhoods, Gethsemane remains in its historic location, consistently attentive to the needs of the economically stressed downtown population. It has also become a home for many students and professors from nearby Indiana Wesleyan University and Taylor University.
Gethsemane operates based on congregational giving and a trust fund, but funds are low. Past and current church members worked together to contribute Christmas songs to this benefit album. The songs and styles represent the diversity of our congregation. Thank you for your support.
