Cantata Coming Up!


















We have been working on a cantata now for over two months. Cantatas are always lots of work, but I wonder if you can imagine doing one in French. First, we have to find a suitable cantata in English, then we have to have it translated (or do it ourselves!), then the words have to be carefully adjusted to the music, written out, copied, etc. All that before Bob teaches his choir the songs, note by note! You can see by the white board, that he also throws in some music theory! This year, he has had two practices each week since some of the people couldn't come on Saturday afternoon. This is a "three church" effort--Bob is directing and Sylvia Christy will be playing the piano. Two teenage boys are also going to play one song each--a first for them. It is always lots of work, but worth it in the end. Please pray that we have many unsaved visitors for the performance in a rented hall on Dec. 13th.

Wow...you all are BUSY folks! Praise the Lord for your willingness to put in so much work for His glory. I'll be praying for the Lord's blessing on the cantata.
