Christmas photo (10 more days!)

This is a really nice photo that reminds us to say "Merry Christmas" ! I actually received this via emails from several people this week and really like it. After a busy weekend of music at church, I am starting to realize Christmas is almost here. We presented Handel's Messiah on Saturday night, with our first "community sing" at Berean. Sunday night, we presented our Christmas program with lots of special music. Our mens ensemble sang "Mary Had a Baby" accapella. It was very challenging (especially to sing the high tenor part), but it turned out well. One of our young men played a cello solo, "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" that was almost as good as Yo Yo Ma! He also accompanied a mixed trio for "Away in a Manger." Just a lot of good Christmas music this past weekend!
