BCI –
“First United Church, Truro, is blessed to have the dynamic duo of Chris Bowman and Valerie Peyton Kingsbury. Their depth and creativity are well represented in their Good Friday cantata, Beyond the Darkness. The familiar story told from the perspective of Jesus’ mother draws one into the emotional impact of Jesus final days and the price paid for integrity and justice.
The music, composed by Chris, who also directed the impressive choir and sang a solos, flows with moving power. The story, created and narrated by Valerie, is poignant and penetrating; and she has the presence, voice and gravitas to make it real and alive. A worshipful and profound presentation.”
(Rev.) Don Murray
