Willington Church Concert

Today we went to Willington Church in Burnaby to attend a Christmas concert. This church is the biggest church in greater Vancouver. We came here last year too but we didn't get a chance to see the concert because all the tickets were sold out by the time we got there. But this year we went there extra early so we were able to witness this great Christmas concert. We waited 2 hours before the concert started. The opening started out with the orchestra playing softly. Almost all of them are professional players! And all the actors, players ad singers are all members of this church as well! The the drama began shortly after the music. The story is about a rich man in England. He owns one of the biggest company in all of England and every Christmas his family would get busy for the big Christmas party at their mansion. However at this Christmas the man felt really empty. He thinks that he has got everything, but yet he feels really sad. While his family is having a fuss over which choir they should choose for their Christmas party, the man went to a doctor. The funny part is, the doctor is actually a fraud. The man then left and went to his friend and asked for help. His friends explained his troubles but the man still felt incomplete. Finally this man met a beggar, who sang a verse from the Bible and told him how to be happy for Christmas. The concert went on for 1 hour and 40 minutes. It was such an incredible show. All the seats were filled, and boy it was absolutely amazing. I was glad that we came today to witness such incredible work of art.
