Special Music Sundays

Special Music Sundays

While music has always held a special place in the worship services at the Hills Church, twice a year on a Sunday morning—once in Advent and again during Lent—it steps out of its supportive role into the limelight. On these occasions, the Chancel Choir and its soloists, under the direction of Dr. Will Cooper, are typically joined by a chamber orchestra to present a major musical work in lieu of the spoken sermon. Not intended as a concert, Special Music Sunday offers a visceral worship experience that invades the senses, conveying the good news of the Gospel promise directly to the heart as only music can.
