CELINA - George Frideric Handel's "Messiah" is a fixture of the Christmas season, especially in Celina where members of the community and high school choir have performed selections from the oratorio for more than 30 years.
However, all good things must come to an end. "Messiah" will be performed for the last time by a choir of roughly 100 high schoolers and community members at 6 p.m. Sunday at Grand Lake United Methodist Church St. Paul Campus. [More]
