The Latter-Day Saints Choir sings “Some Children See Him” at the annual Christmas is One Language concert at Gainesville First United Methodist Church last year. The concert is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sunday at the church at 2780 Thompson Bridge Road in Gainesville.
Whether you say Jesus or Yeshua, God or Dios, all followers of Christianity agree on one event — the celebration of the Savior’s birth is one of the most special times of the year. For the 18th year, Gainesville First United Methodist Church and the Gainesville Multicultural Committee is teaming up with various local musicians, dancers and performers to celebrate the holiday in “Christmas is One Language,” a popular yearly performance focused on celebrating diversity in religion and the community. “It’s really a great way to showcase a lot of the diverse talent in this community,” said John LaForge, director of worship arts at the church.
