Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Choral Service

Yesterday was the Advent choral service at my church. It was wonderful. The church choir sang, the childrens’ choir sang, the handbells played, and there was brass and tympani. And of course the congregation sang as well. I loved how much music there was!

It was interesting that we didn’t sing any Christmas carols at all. None of the choirs did and neither did the congregation. I wonder if that’s how it is every year, or if that was peculiar to this year. I guess I’ll find out in twelve months.

I had a great view right before playing handbells.

    How wonderful! You can’t beat music for lifting your spirits! Your church doesn’t have a recording of it, does it?

    (Also, that nativity scene up front is huge!)

    It’s funny you mention the nativity scene. Just last week at handbell practice, one of the ringers was commenting about how big Baby Jesus is. He’s out of scale with the other figurines, so he looks like a giant. You wouldn’t notice it until someone mentions it. Then you can’t stop seeing it.

    …and how long has Emmanuel had the Big Screen going on there? Is that well-received? Does it cut out the need to print out bulletins then, or…? (Our gang freaks a bit when the screen comes down each summer for the end-of-VBS service; can’t imagine them using that with regularity…but, then, it is 2014…)
