Mennonite Memorial Choir
I had a wonderful weekend, fantastic even enchanting might be a good word. It was absolutely gorgeous outside, a high of 18 - 20 and I was inside but it was so much fun. I spent the whole weekend rehearsing for the benefit concert this past Sunday. What a delight it was to present this program to a packed house. It went well. We had such beautiful meaningful hymns. I had some musical challenges thrown at me in the last weeks but I enjoyed working on them and seeing if I could do it. My husband was a little tired of hearing the Hallujah Chorus after two weeks of hearing that on a midi file! I was part of an special ensemble with the Hallujah Chorus that was a pleasure to do. I did not get every entry right on but it was fun, stretching experience. My husband got a little more than what he bargained for when he volunteered to usher. They had to set up 300 chairs after the auditorium was filled. He had sweat running down his face!
Now am completely changing gears and throwing myself into getting ready for a garage sale that is a fundraiser for The Lighthouse. Last year we raised almost $10,000. That might give you a little bit of an idea why it takes all week to set up!
God bless You!

Judy, the choir was beautiful! It made me want to sing in a group again. Didn't notice the sweat on your hubby; guess he's not used to being in charge of such a crowd, eh? I bet he's enjoying the chance to participate in events after all these years. You looked like you were having fun on the stage!
I most certainly had fun! It was incredible. I went to church that evening because I was still in the zone. What a deflating experience. I crashed big time around 8:30. I should have stayed home I guess! And yes I think hubby enjoyed it. I was glad the children weren't along which is another post!
This is great info to know.
