One of the most cheerful things we can do is to sing. Music is like salve for the soul.
In August one of Ralph's high school friends who works at a large church (Baptist) in a nearby small town emailed and extended an invitation to us to sing with their choir for their Christmas special this year.
We gave the answer little study and happily agreed to be a part of the event! After numerous rehearsals and many travel miles we invested the couple of hundred dollars in the required costumes.
Last night we attended the dress rehearsal. The featured artist is Guy Penrod from the Gaither Vocal band. The music is glorious! Now we get to do the production for real tonight, two times tomorrow and Sunday night.
We love our church (Anglican) but the music tends to be stuffy and formal.
This music for the Christmas performance is an artful blend of old classics and some updated joyful selections.
This Christmas is starting out giving us extra spring in our steps and happy hearts. All due to the opportunity to "make a joyful noise."
