New Documentary commemorates 100th Anniversary of Charleston and Mattoon Tornado
At 3:45 P.M. on the 26th day of May 1917, a ominous cloud appeared on the western fringes of Mattoon, Illinois. The cloud had a black with green appearance throwing debris into the air. Within a very short time, a portion of the two prairie cities were leveled. After the storm blew through, the sun began to shine on the quiet cities as people who sought shelter began to appear to assess the damage. It was on this day that God showed his will to protect or his desire to destroy. Using historical documents and letters and descendents of those witnesses, the story of one of America's worst natural disasters is presented.
New Work :: Profess Your Devotion! Oh! My People! (2017)
Craig wrote a new cantata inspired by the recent events in Charlottesvile, Virgina. This particular piece incorporates scriptures from the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) lectionary. Craig's third movement, "God has Rejected No One," produced tears in his congregation while debuting the work. "My Faith is My Vow to Christ" is another that will definitely move emotions of the congregation. Reading from the scriptures, Craig wrote the text for the cantata to grasp the importance of the message. The work will be released soon from this website.
