We met in the afterglow of the Annual Choir Festival. Choir rehearsal this week was fun and we spent a little time taking about the event and the nice compliments we received. It was a good night but we missed having both Central Baptist and St Pats there. Both of those choirs add a lot to the mix.
Someone noted that United Congregational's choir did a great job with only four members. I think they would get the Spirit Award if we had one. They always remind us what this event is all about. It isn't about size or even how well practiced an anthem is. We joke about it being a competition sometimes but at the root of the event is a simple truth. We all sing praises to God and lead our churches in worship.
I always come away from the event giving thanks for all the choir directors and members that sing each week in our churches. But I also come away with a realization of how fortunate we are a First Baptist to have such a dedicated group of singers who come with talent and enthusiasm for this ministry. My admiration for Adele continues to grow as well. She has a unique ability to bring the best out of our group week after week.
In January Adele will celebrate her thirtieth anniversary with us. We will certainly have to do something special.
