Are You Ready for Christmas?
Recorded December 19, 1976, at the Sanctuary Church of the Open Door in Philadelphia, PA, this album reflects the joy, excitement, and spiritual preparation for the Christmas season. The church, co-founded by Rev. Audrey F. Bronson and Becky Carlton, Minister of Music, provides a presentation of its Christmas message through music and sermon in a “very inspired and extremely sophisticated style.” Liner notes include brief autobiographies and descriptions of church programs from Bronson and Carlton, and an introduction to the album by producer Verna Gillis.
