If a bit of Christmas still lingers in your heart, check out my review of the "Celebrate the Joy" Christmas Concert at Grace Immanuel Bible Church on The Believer's Byline. I have attended this concert many times and also performed in it once. It is amazing and literally like being inside worship itself. I highly encourage everyone in the Jupiter area to attend if possible, but I have linked the Facebook post for the 2024 concert at the end of the article as well. Enjoy!
