> 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.

>> Hi Donia,
>> 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!
>> Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice and Happy New Year.

>>> I wanted to pass on this note from Paula Gills.   I couldn't agree more!   I realized in my distraction at the end of the service last night that I never wished you all a happy holiday.  So, wishing you a safe (ugh, freezing rain), warm and joyous holiday!  See you on Jan 6th!

>>> 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
