For the past several years my brother Andrew and I have performed cello and harp duets for services on the 4th Sunday of Advent at St. Andrews United Methodist Church in Arlington, TX. It has become a family tradition, that we didn't want to miss even though we are unable to be together in person this year. Andrew and I decided to create a video of O Holy Night in our living rooms for St. Andrew's online services.
