Amy and I went to a conference for worship leaders and tech workers this past Saturday along with 5 others from our church. I enjoyed the sessions on using ProPresenter and on vocal coaching. The church was big and rambling - thankfully no one got lost! =D
L to R: Jeff, Matt, Rachard, Christie, Mandy, Amy, and me. =)
On our way home we stopped for a treat at Dairy Queen.
It was fun to spend the day with these brothers and sisters in Christ!!
The Christmas Eve service at church was lovely! They did Nine Lessons and Carols - which was songs with scripture readings between. The above song was the first one. =)
Pastor Matthew
The song leaders and musicians.
Angel doing one of the readings.
Afterwards we drove around looking at the lights. =) Then we went home and ate supper. Caleb and Ana came later in the evening!
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Our church has two services now, one at 9:00 AM and one at 11:00 AM. When Amy and I work in the tech booth we need to be at church around 7:15AM. This past Sunday was a dark, foggy, day. The Christmas tree in the dimly lit foyer looked so lovely that I took a quick picture before band practice started. No one else was in this part of the church and it was so quiet and peaceful. =)
Here is the tech booth before practice starts.
Dad took this of us before we all left for home. Amy and I love helping out at church!
Last night we attended our friend's senior piano recital. I can't imagine memorizing so much classical music to play from memory. She did such a wonderful job!!
Sunday evening several people from church went to Sunday Evening Fellowship at Mrs. M's home. She lives in a lovely old house and does adult foster care.
Our hostess.
Dessert time - Mr. L's favorite. The guys were teasing him about all the cake he had on his plate and said they would sit and watch him eat! ;-)
