The Life Of Christ–A Worship Arts Event by Toni Groshek
A Time Of Meditation Through Song & Scripture
About “The Life Of Christ” from this morning’s bulletin:
“So often, our worship themes and liturgical calendars focus on only one aspect of Christ’s life or God’s character. Through The Life Of Christ, the worshipper experiences the entire Gospel story, from beginning to end, meditating on Christ’s birth, his earthly ministry, his death, and his resurrection. My purpose in creating this program is to foster an atmosphere of intimate personal worship, as well as to provide an opportunity to joyfully respond to God as a community of worshippers gathered together in his name. The program consists of corporate worship, vocal solos, dynamic Scripture readings and visual media that enhance the spoken and sung word. I created The Life Of Christ [TLOC] in 1996 after receiving my Masters degree in Vocal Performance. I was looking for a creative way to express my Christian faith within the classical performance realm. Using the traditional recital platform, my repertoire consisted of art song and opera/oratorio arias, as well as Scripture readings. In 2007, I began to transform TLOC from a classical recital to a contemporary worship program, using hymns and worship songs, as well as the element of visual media. This morning’s program marks the 21st event in my tour with TLOC as I continue to perform it in churches and on campuses throughout the tri-state area.
