[Choir] Fwd: Service last night

[Lindsay Wade]

Wow!! That is quite a compliment coming from Paula.  She doesn’t exaggerate so she absolutely enjoyed our singing last evening.  
Also, My son, Collin, said Oh,Holy Night was beautiful.  He loved that version, Verdis and our choir soloists, the whole performance. He knows through me the path of our choir the past 1 1/2 years and he was quite emotional hearing us all singing together again.
Merry Christmas, Lindsay

> I am so happy that you sent us the video.  I agree with Paula too.  This gave me goose bumps and I felt a little choked up to hear our wonderful choir, under your excellent direction sing so well.  It was fun to be a “back-up singer” to Verdis whose voice is sublime.  A fabulous Lyric Baritone, as he describes himself.  Wow!  Can we top that?   That was a real show-stopper!

>> The music last night is lingering with me this morning.  First of all, it was so heartening to see you all actually in the church singing!  That is a step in the right direction toward our being more whole again.  I also want to say that I have, in my over 30 years in our church, seen and heard MANY versions of O, Holy Night.  Last night's rendering was the absolute best--the arrangement of the song, Verdis' lead vocal, and the glorious sound of the choir made it a tour de force.  Thank you all for that lovely surprise.  Made my evening.  Paula
