Highlights of Choir Trip

We are now in Prague, departing on Sunday morning for home. Highlights from the last days of the choir trip in Slovakia:
  • The impact of the theme "God's Son Has Made Me Free" - a powerful beginning at every concert. The meaning of the song is so much stronger for us - never to be sung the same way!
  • Coming together in God's Spirit - no language barrier. Music touches the heart.
  • "Light Everlasting" sang in a darkened old wooden church.
  • "Child's Prayer" sung with 3 Slovak children as soloists with our choir. It attracted eyes and ears of audiences. The audience heard the prayer of their children.
  • Green bag craft project connected with lots of people. They will never be thrown away and will be carried throughout the city.
  • Butterfly craft project,"motyl mobile" - Important in use of daily lives.
  • The Choir concerts were an inspiration to the audience as well as to our singers. At two concerts we were asked to give copies of music for further use by conductors.
  • Many special memories that will last, and we thank God for the opportunity to share our music and the message of freedom in Christ. Jan Gilbertson, Choir Director
