Our Easter Cantata

On Sunday, March 25 at 11:00 a.m., the Chancel Choir of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) presents...

Russell Mauldin's "O What A Savior"

What a Savior we have in Jesus Christ! What a victory we celebrate today! This is the story of Easter, the testimony of every redeemed soul, the celebration of victory over sin and life everlasting through His death on the cross and His glorious resurrection...O What A Savior!

Created by Russell Mauldin and Sue C. Smith and masterfully arranged in the Ready to Sing style by Russell Mauldin, O What A Savior is a 30-minute Easter musical designed for the small-to-medium-size choir, or the large choir with last minute performance needs. Performance options include a visually compelling DVD Accompaniment Track to further enhance your choir's presentation. Featuring both new and classic songs for the church, the music of "O What A Savior" is perfectly complemented by its simple yet powerful, narration.

Songs include: Our Great Savior Medley (O What A Savior/Our Great Savior/Alleluia! Alleluia!) • Hail Jesus Medley (Victory Chant/Because We Believe) • Something Beautiful • Embrace the Cross • Jesus Paid It All • He Is Risen! • O What A Savior • That's Why We Praise Him with Alleluia! Alleluia!

The church is identified with the Protestant “mainstream” and is widely involved in social and other concerns. Disciples have supported vigorously world and national programs of education, agricultural assistance, racial reconciliation, care of the developmentally disabled and aid to victims of war and calamity.

The denomination now counts about 700,000 members in the United States and Canada in about 3,700 congregations. Numerically, the strength of the Disciples of Christ runs in a broad arc that sweeps from Ohio and Kentucky through the Midwest and down into Oklahoma and Texas.

The Vision of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is to be a faithful, growing church, that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. (Micah 6:8)

This Mission of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is to be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, witnessing, loving and serving from our doorsteps "to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8)

The Lord's Supper or Communion is celebrated in weekly worship. It is open to all who are followers of Jesus Christ. The practice of Holy Communion has become the central element of worship within the Disciples tradition.

Disciples' observance of the Lord's Supper emanates from the upper room, where Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples on the eve of his crucifixion. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, the living Christ is met and received in the sharing of the bread and the cup, representative of the body and blood of Jesus. The presence of the living Lord is affirmed and he is proclaimed to be the dominant power in our lives.

The chalice symbolizes the central place of communion in worship for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The X-shaped cross of the disciple Andrew is a reminder of the ministry of each person and the importance of evangelism.

Congregations and ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are free to use the chalice in publications, web sites and other media. Organizations not affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) are asked to obtain permission for the use of the Chalice by contacting:
