From Falls Church-It has been a long road for The Falls Church-Episcopal in its struggle to regain control of its historic church home. The seven-year battle between church defectors who held onto the property and “continuing Episcopalians” over use of the centuries-old site ended last month with a decisive U.S. Supreme Court decision, and now they are launching a concert series with hopes to rebuild their relationship with the community.
The first performance in the Community Concert Series is next Monday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. and will feature the renowned choral group The Thirteen. The concert will take place in the main sanctuary of The Falls Church, 115 E. Fairfax St., Falls Church.
Concerts in the series will be free to attend, but the church welcomes donations to benefit its scholarship fund for young musicians. The charitable endeavor, operated by The Falls Church-Episcopal in cooperation with local schools and music education programs, seeks to assist children who have the talent and enthusiasm for music, but don’t have the financial means to fund music lessons.
