My church is involved again in the big Holiday Brass Christmas concert that we did last year. Last night was our first practice. Several churches are involved in this concert, and we take turns practicing at each other’s churches. Last night we were at Grace United Methodist. It’s a giant building I’ve driven past many times, but never been in. The sanctuary is gorgeous.
It was a huge space!
The practice went well. I introduced myself to someone who I talked with last year. I didn’t remember him. He remembered me. D’oh! I apologized for my bad memory. I also saw my old organ teacher. I think he might be playing for the concert. Cool! I only spoke briefly with him, but it was fun to see him.
It was not so fun getting home late. I was up until 10 last night. Ten! That’s like 1am for me. I’m glad it’s Friday.
I have to remember to attend that concert again this year – only went once and absolutely enthralled but keep missing the date…and now I want to call up from Pandora “Highland Cathedral” [or whatever that amazing bagpipe piece is called]!
…but what about next Friday?! Translation: I’ll be at your school for SED-LEC; looking forward to a few quality conversations some time that day.
Yes! We’re getting ready to host the conference in a week! Woo hoo! I’m looking forward to many great conversations 🙂
Wow – that space is gorgeous and huge! My second thought is: How much does it cost to cool/heat, because I am boringly cheap and practical. That’s so cool that you get to see inside other churches, though. Did you look at a hymnal?
I have always said that if I ever become rich, I’m going to have huge rooms like this in my house. I’ll have to be rich to pay the heating and cooling bills I’m sure.
I didn’t look at a hymnal because I already own a United Methodist hymnal. I have a bit of a collection.
