“Atlanta—the best Christmas Cantata performance so far.”

Atlanta, GA—This is how Pastor Ock Soo Park expressed the 2013 Gracias Christmas Cantata in Atlanta in front of a capacity crowd of 1120 on Monday evening, October 1st.


Christmas Cantata brought the warmth and atmosphere of the Charlotte performance to the Ferst Center for the Arts, located on the main campus of Georgia Tech. Ferst Center is a venue that holds a strong historical tradition and is treasured by many Georgians. There auditorium was packed way before the curtain went up and many people unfortunately had to be turned away. People from the Good News Atlanta Church, as well as many of the volunteers, happily gave up their seats to the growing crowd that continued to pour in and scour for open spots. The managerial staff was in a state of emergency from having to account for every last seat in the house to make sure the least number of people were left out.


It was moving to see people from all over the area, including several VIPs such as the Mayor of Norcross, GA, the Peru general consul, and the head of the fire department in Atlanta, fill the Ferst Center with eagerness and anticipation.
