The Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, under the direction of Mark Franklin, will sing a holiday concert at First Church of God on the corner of Luther and South Jackson streets.
The chorale and orchestra will present the beloved Christmas portion of Messiah by George F. Handel. The one-night-only concert will be presented at 7 p.m. on Sunday.
The concert will feature the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, local soloists and will be accompanied by a 19-member orchestra.
Soloists in this concert include Laurel Posey, Richard Reynolds, Heidi Uptegrove, Faith Dubke, Julie Kelly and Sharon Davis. The Masterworks Chorale is in its 12th year. The Chorale began as the Red Bluff Messiah Project in 1996 to bring classical choral music to the Red Bluff community.
The volunteer singers come from Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Los Molinos, Gerber and Redding. These dedicated volunteer singers rehearse each Monday evening to prepare for the coming presentations.
The concerts are offered without a ticket price and are supported by the local business community donations received at the door of each concert.
This year's concert is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wal-Mart Community Fund.
Donations will be received at the door to help encourage future concerts of this type.
The love of singing and the community support of attending the concerts encourage the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale to continue its efforts to bring such choral concerts to Tehama County.
Membership in the Masterworks Chorale is open to singers of high school age and beyond.
There are no auditions to participate. If you would like to help support the efforts of the Red Bluff Masterworks Chorale, desire further information about the chorale or the coming concerts or are interested in becoming a member of this growing musical ensemble, contact Franklin at 527-4203.

Taizé
An hour of prayer, music and silence
Four Sundays in Advent; December 2nd, 9th, 16th, & 23rd
4:00 -5:00 p.m.
St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 510 Jefferson Street, Red Bluff, California
Taizé prayer involves the repetition of simple sung Christian phrases. The experience of singing these phrases nourishes us on a deep non-verbal level. The service consists of quiet chanting, scripture reading, petitions and silence. It allows us to come together to the cross during this Advent Season to pray, to bring our burdens and the burdens of our world and all that is in our hearts to Jesus Christ.
Taizé is the name of the village in France where Brothers of an Ecumenical community reside and where young adults have been gathering for this type of prayer since the late 1950’s. Many churches and retreat centers throughout the world regularly offer this type of meditative communal prayer.
“Nothing is more conducive to a communion with the living God than a meditative common prayer with, as its high point, singing that never ends and that continues in the silence of one’s heart when one is alone again.”
Brother Roger of Taizé

New women’s Bible study held at NVB Church
A new women’s Bible study is being held at North Valley Baptist Church, a Family Life Fellowship, according to Pastor David
Lamberson.
It is being led by member Sharon Camp and is held each Thursday morning at the church starting at 9:30 p.m. with coffee and fellowship; study from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. All women from the community are invited to bring their Bibles and attend.
A study of the book of Ephesians is current, with emphasis on “the Christian home and how it relates to the work of the Holy Spirit,” “the strategy of Satan and how we can be victorious over him” and “each Christian’s responsibility in light of our great wealth in Christ.” According to Camp, her desire is “to get women excited about Bible study and able to apply the truths learned in their everyday life.” The purpose of the study is to increase knowledge of the Bible and understanding its meaning in daily lives. Prayer is an integral part of the sessions. There will be a time for witnessing and applications of the truths that are learned.
Camp is the wife of a pastor, Scott Camp. They have led a number of churches over the years. She has lead Bible studies for over 30 years in Orange County, the Bay Area and Denver, Colo. She worked for Promise Keepers at the National Headquarters in Denver, Colo., and was project manager for Stand-in-the-Gap Million Man gathering in Washington, D.C. “Sharon is a wonderful teacher,” attendee Jeannie Fletcher stated. “She has a great heart for what she does.”

Pray for rain in Georgia
Georgia has been suffering from an intense drought in recent months that is so severe it has threatened supplies of drinking water.
Recently, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue has called for a prayer service to call on the Lord for relief from the drought.
Of course, droughts are nothing new and neither is praying for them to end. The Old Testament records a long drought that occurred during Elijah’s time in 1 Kings 18. When Elijah earnestly prayed for rain, the Lord answered him with a downpour. According to James 5, we have the assurance that if we pray as earnestly as Elijah did, we too can have our prayers answered.
This is an opportunity for the Body of Christ to demonstrate the love of God. The water shortage in the South is not only a Georgia problem, it hurts us all.
Proverbs 11:25 says, “The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.”
2 Chronicles 7:13-15 tells us, “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain… and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.”
Let’s join with Georgia, and the rest of the south by calling on the name of the Lord to pray for rain.

Smith to speak at Calvary Chapel
A visiting guest speaker, Pastor Chuck Smith, will be teaching at Calvary Chapel Red Bluff at 12375 Paskenta Road for both the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services this Sunday.
Pastor Chuck Smith, as he is affectionately called by his congregation, was taught the scriptures from his youth as Timothy was. He has remained a student of the word of God, as well as being gifted by God as a teacher of the word. He has been given the ability to teach God's word in a simple, low-key, yet powerful manner that listeners of all ages can easily learn and apply to their daily lives. His teaching has inspired hundreds of young men to go into the ministry.
More than 30 years ago Smith felt the Lord calling him away from the church he was pastoring in Corona and move to Costa Mesa to begin the ministry of Calvary Chapel. What happened to this fellowship is a testimony to the miraculous ability of Jesus Christ to build His church in this 20th Century when a man is yielded to the leading of God.
Smith's radio ministry, "The Word For Today," is heard an hundreds stations around the country and through Calvary Satellite Network he is heard worldwide. Each week thousands of his taped Bible studies are sent all around the world to people studying the Word.

Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans
(Pictured) Jefferson Pipe Band featured in Scottish celebration of the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans.RED BLUFF — On Sunday, the Jefferson Pipe Band will perform Celtic bagpipe and drum music at the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church, 838 Jefferson St.
An 11 a.m. Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans worship service will honor the Scottish faith traditions practiced by the Presbyterian Church.
A processional will open the service, led by the church Sexton carrying the Beadle (Bible), followed by Banners of Faith, the Jefferson Pipe Band featuring bagpipers and drummers, the Presbyterian Church choir, Pastor Jack Eisel and church lay readers. Scottish pipe hymns will be featured throughout the service, as well as blessing of individuals and families of Scottish descent. Traditional Celtic pipe hymns and melodies will continue after the service during a coffee hour featuring traditional Scottish shortbread, fruits, coffee and punch.
The Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans custom began in response to English attempt to extinguish Scottish culture. In 1746, a Parliamentary Act sought to deny the Scottish people the right to wear the kilt, plaid or any tartan garment. Bagpipes, as well, were banned and defined as a weapon in the continued effort to destroy highland clan identity. Arrest, imprisonment or banishment to the colonies was the price paid for almost 40 years, to those disobeying the law in the highlands. During this time the women of the highland clans, whose men were far from home, would take a small piece of their tartan to the Kirk (church) to be secretly blessed and to pray for Heaven’s protection for their clan and its members. Thus came the Scottish celebration known as the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans.
This historically based ceremony came to fruition in the US when Dr. Peter Marshall, an emigrant from Coatdyke, Scotland, held the first Kirkin’ in 1941 at the New York Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C.
For more information about the Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans, contact the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church at 527-0372.
