Wow, what a practice!

We are into the 2nd week of practicing our Easter cantata, AMEN. We have been singing along with the sample CD and I've been a little nervous about how well we would sound. My fears were dispelled tonight when as we were singing along with the CD, it all of a sudden stopped. We just kept right on singing and it sounded WONDERFUL! Now, I'm always the first to brag on our choir but I've got to say that those folks exceeded my expectations.

This is the first time that we have really split up the parts (men and women). That's the way that the music is arranged, for two parts. Our youth are really getting involved this time and it makes a big difference in the way we sound. I'm happy to see them getting more serious about the music ministry. They are a great bunch of kids.

We were really missing Barbara tonight. She is not feeling well and wasn't able to come to church this weekend. I know we will sound even better when we have her playing the piano along with us instead of the accompaniment CD. I'm really excited about this years Easter program!
