Joy, Joy, Joy

 
It was a day filled with music, beginning with the cantata "Joy, Joy, Joy" at the Ludington Methodist Church.

The chancel choir, praise choir, and children's choir joined together and put on a great performance with lots of lively songs. Local legend, Becky Sopha, is the director and she sure knows how to get good music out of people!

While we were in the service, winter arrived! Postcard pretty outside.

This evening the handbell choir I'm in gave a concert at the Pentwater Methodist Church. I didn't record it. We'll be doing these same songs a couple more times, and there will be a better venue for a video later. I guess every few years the handbell choir plays at this church, but it was my first time.

Also as a part of that concert there was a violin solo.

Followed by snacks and cookies and visits with friends... a really nice day.

That looks like so much fun. Things like this make me wish my family had been church goers. I used to really like the times we would go when I was a kid. I could go now but it would maybe be for the wrong reasons.
