About this event
Thrivent presents An Irish Christmas with Rend Collective About Rend Collective: Hailing from the rugged coast of Northern Ireland, Rend Collective has always believed that worship should feel more like a celebration than a performance.

Since the release of their debut Organic Family Hymnal , Rend Collective has grown from a small worshipping community into a global voice, amassing over 1 billion career streams , and multiple gold and platinum selling singles , including fan favorites like “My Lighthouse,” “Counting Every Blessing,” and “Build Your Kingdom Here.”
Their catalog also includes the international worship anthem “Hallelujah Anyway,” which has resonated deeply with churches around the world.
