We've started working on our anthem for the choir festival on Tuesday nights. We are going to sing "In Christ Alone." It is a challenging piece that really grows on you. Since we began participating in the Annual Choir Festival back in 1990 we have always tried to pick a piece like this. We want something that is fun but also impressive when it is sung right. We've got the notes down and now Adele is pushing us to try to follow the dynamics.
The choir festival actually began in 1990 as part of Central Baptist's 150th Anniversary celebration. The next year it slipped through the cracks but in 1992 Maggie Schumaker of United Congregational Church resurrected it and made it an annual event. She organizes it each year and United has served as the perennial host. About five it has moved to a different venue as the different congregations have used it as part of anniversary or special church celebrations. We hosted it back in 1999 as part of our 200th Anniversary celebration.
This year we have a couple of new members joining us. Adele's friend and co-worker, Jackie is singing with us. She has also brought her son, David with her. It should be a great time. This year's festival will be on Sunday, November 8 at 7:00 p.m. at United Congregational Church.
