Hey Fred,

Thanks for the post over at my new blog. Hey great set, and props on the choir. We did Hosanna and Amazing Grace, too!………without the choir, unfortunately

Hey Jim,
It was awesome, and you are correct, the worship choir is really missing these days. It’s not something we’ll do every Sunday – probably 1-2 per quarter … or more like 4-6 times per year. This keeps it exciting, special, and fresh, and doesn’t over-tax the volunteer choir members with weekly rehearsals in an already-hectic schedule.

As for the hit .. from all the feedback I’ve rec’d thus far, it was definitely a “hit”!

Shannon -
I’ve lost count how many folks have complemented the job you did on Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone .. that Verse and part was written FOR YOU, bro! Perfect range, perfect tone … it was amazing!

a 40-50 person choir – now there’s something most church’s are missing. sounds like some great sets and a fantastic Sunday!

will the choir become a regular? or was it a one time hit?

Yes, I agree whole-heartedly. It did feel ‘effortless’. It was blessed to have been a part of it – it felt so laid back, and at the same time a celebration. I’m still buzzing from Easter Sunday! YAHOO!
