There is no better way to feel the love, joy, and excitement of Christmas!

The 12th annual A Soulful Christmas returns this winter bringing together some of the area’s finest church and community choirs and performers for a night of soul-stirring music, spoken word, and movement. Creator and Director, Dr. J. Donald Dumpson, returns to lead the inspiring, uplifting gathering of regional performers and clergy, sharing holiday spirituals, gospel favorites, and inspirational messages of goodwill. The program culminates in a spectacular closing to the evening with a visually mesmerizing “Finale of Lights.” This year, the event will honor multi-Grammy winner, Bishop Hezekiah Walker.
