Victory Bible Church Presents The Greatest Story Ever Told

It’s a bleak world out there sometimes, but sometimes all it takes is a touch of hope.

That’s the message as Victory Bible Church presents “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” its Annual Christmas Candlelight Concert at The First Church of the Nazarene of Pasadena (PazNaz) on Saturday, December 21st, 2013, from 6 to 8:30 pm.

Candlelight Service is a Holiday Concert filled with singing and celebration for the entire community to enjoy. Prepared to be inspired by the real meanings of the season—hope, joy and love. Celebration will fill the venue as community members come from near and far to hear the voices of the Victory Bible Church Mass Choir.

Featured Artists include Jonathan Nelson and Anita Wilson.

Nelson is a gospel singer/hymn writer who was born in Baltimore, MD and raised in the church. He began as an executive with a computer software company where he enjoyed huge successes. But when his dot-com company bubble collapsed, he lost nearly everything. It was then Nelson started creating songs that would propel him to the number one spot on Billboard’s gospel chart.

Wilson is an East St. Louis native and gospel singer who was drawn to music at a very young age. With a vocal style that merged traditional gospel with jazz, pop, and R&B, she became an in-demand back up singer for many gospel and praise & worship acts such as Hezekiah Walker, Marvin Sapp, DeWayne Woods, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. Her debut album as a solo artist, Worship Soul, was released in 2012 and includes an impressive first single, “Speechless.”

Other special guests for the event include indie artist Shamira Williams, along with a distinguished 100-voice choir.

This year’s event will highlight the outreach efforts of a local transitional housing program called the Oxford House. The group’s mission is to heal the broken hearted and bring hope to those held captive by despair. VBC has partnered with the Oxford House, and a percentage of the proceeds will go to support their service to the community.
