ONE NIGHT. EVERY NATION. A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN.
Imagine the lights going down, live music rising, and the Festival Chorale singing the "Hallelujah" Chorus while you stand with hundreds of people from every corner of the world. Then the drums call, and flags from every nation come down the aisles in national dress. Worship in many languages. One Saviour. One family.
This is As It Is in Heaven: Calgary's Christmas Festival of Nations. You go home full in spirit and full in stomach, with a NativPott Christmas Feast box in your hands.
"After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne..." Revelation 7:9
