At 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, the Lakes Area Music Festival will present the second of its Winter Series concerts: Beauty in Chaos, Hope in Order.
Recorded in New York City’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, this performance will be broadcast worldwide via the festival’s Facebook page and website.
Beauty in Chaos, Hope in Order will feature music from the 17th century for strings, harpsichord and theorbo (a large, plucked instrument), performed on replicas of the instruments that would have been used at the time.
In Bishop Dwayne Royster’s mind, the old America has fallen. He said he watched it happen earlier this month when a crowd of mostly white people violently stormed the U.S.

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Emotions are still high after the events at the Capitol. That’s why local faith leaders in Lynchburg are offering a message of hope.
“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and of a sound mind. So, what do we do in these times? We point people and direct people to look and to seek the comfort, the direction, and grace of God,” said Pastor Carlton Duck of Gethsemane Baptist Church.
“It’s better to ask questions than it is to make statements. Statements don’t take you anyway, they stop the conversation. Questions invite an openness and help you to grow in the understanding,” said Monsignor Michael McCarron of St. Thomas More Roman Catholic Church.
Through the contributions of Lake Country Power s participating members, the Operation Round Up® Electric Trust Board recently approved $53,497 in assistance to local community programs during its quarterly meeting.
