News from Lamb of God
MISSOULA – Lamb of God is a beautiful, sacred, and inspiring oratorio performed by an interfaith, all-volunteer choir, soloists, narrators, and full orchestra. It is the retelling of the New Testament account of the last days of the life of Jesus Christ, His Atonement, and Resurrection. It is retold from the perspective of those who associated closely with Him and knew Him best. Written and composed by Rob Gardner, Lamb of God is a powerful message of hope.
Conducted by Derek Larson, Lamb of God will be performed on March 26, 27, and 28 at 7 p.m., in Missoula’s First Presbyterian Church, 235 S Fifth Street W.
