Christmas Spirituals & Gospel Music

We sometimes recognize Christmas by festive decorations, and cookies, but it’s also a good time to remember that Jesus' birth is the real reason for the season. And while there are plenty of traditional Christmas carols to listen to that promote the joy of the season, there are even more gospel Christmas songs that can help fill your heart with the true meaning of Christmas.
We celebrate Christmas spirituals performed by nationally recognized artists, Lisa Lockhart, Edward Washington and the regal Gregory Sheppard! Not to be missed, they share some of their favorite Christmas selections and enlightened presentations of African American Spirituals.
