"There Is Love" is a holiday music special that celebrates faith through contemporary songs. The music is performed by folk legend Noel "Paul" Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary and longtime collaborator and accomplished singer/songwriter Michael Kelly Blanchard. Through original compositions and the warmth of an acoustic folk-style performance, Stookey and Blanchard explore poignant human moments of Divine connection to everyday life, through their richly crafted songs in a unique inner-faith setting. The backdrop of the historic First Congregational Church of Southington, Connecticut and its faith-community involvement serves as a perfect setting for the program.
