The messages contained in song often bring the most direct healing. The feelings from each individual send vibrations throughout the room. As our choir rehearsed early Sunday morning for their performance, an individual was so touched that he was in tears.
Sunday’s Concert began with Rev. Chuck Cournyea singing "Do You Hear What I Hear". Next was Jaye Naomi, a talented local harper. Our children blessed us with "Up On The House Top" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." Santa Claus walked in just as they finished!
Margaret Smith sang "Christmas In Dixie" with Louis Marino on guitar and myself on bass. The choir performed more pieces, then the Redneck Cousins sang "Granma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" and had everyone clapping along!
The Rev. Dr. Ruinese Sheard and Wynter Campbell performed a beautiful duet of "The Prayer". Next the choir performed "Solitary Snowflake" with a solo by Kendra Oldershaw. The song brought home the truth that each of us makes a difference.
KD Vargo sang "Christmas Lullabye", a comforting song. Next, David Billings performed "Make Me An Instrument," reminding us to choose loving others over being loved. The choir ended with a quodlibet of "I Believe" with "Ave Maria", and then had all join in on "Silent Night".
The celebration continued as we feasted on fabulous dishes prepared by Karen Mathis and Georgeann Kirkpatrick. Thanks Karen and Georgeann!
We welcome all to come experience our family-oriented Christmas concert here at Unity Church next year. Blessings to all!
