Join Calvary Baptist Church to celebrate the risen Jesus Christ. Calvary Baptist Church, 1600 Harvey St. in McAllen, will present the Easter musical “Love Took His Breath Away” featuring full choir with piano and orchestra under the direction of Dr. Bill O’Neil. The concerts will be on Friday, March 27, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, March 28, at 3:30 p.m.

Dr. O’Neil is in his third year as Calvary Choir director and brings decades of musical experience to the choir. He has been on faculty at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley/UT Pan American as professor of clarinet since 1992. He is currently co-principal clarinetist with the Valley Symphony Orchestra. Bill grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and is delighted to live in the RGV.

Dr. Daniel Cather will accompany on piano, as he has done for the past 11 years of service as a Worship Leader at Calvary Baptist Church. He is Chair of the Music Department at South Texas College and assistant professor of music since 2008. Several other professional musicians will complete the orchestra at the presentations.

The Calvary Choir has been an integral part of worship in the church for over sixty years. Today’s choir continues that tradition with heartfelt love for God and singing to His glory. The choir sings every Sunday, directed by Bill O’Neil and accompanied by Dan Cather at the 9:15 a.m. service.

The concerts are free and the public are cordially invited to attend. Join them for this wonderful event and let your heart be lifted and filled with joy at the resurrection of Jesus, the Savior of the world. For more information contact Calvary Baptist Church at (956) 686-4364.
