Choir anyone?

Choir rehearsals started up again on Tuesday night. As people made their entrances. I got more and more excited to see everyone. I like summer but it has its down side. When the choir takes it recess for the season, many of the members take a more relaxed approach to church. Between travel and vacations, family visits and work around the house, attendance at worship often dips a bit.

Tuesday night was like a family reunion. As each person walked through the door our excitement and energy rose. We also welcomed two new members to the choir. Shawn Rucker and Cindy Costa took us up on our invitation and joined us. New members always help ramp up the energy of the whole group.

We practiced a number of pieces and prepared our first anthem of the season, "God of Glory." It was good first rehearsal. We are hoping that we might even get a few more new members as we roll through September.
