The other big activity yesterday was the bell choir's participation in the Our Savior Lutheran Church Christmas concert.
We were only a part of the musical program. Their choir sang several songs- Breath of Heaven, Mary Did You Know, and a medly with the Sunday School kids, shown here. And there were other soloists, and we all sang some carols.
The church was beautifully decorated. The large tree is covered with symbolic ornaments.
And they have a large nativity set in the hallway.
Of course, it takes a lot of work to set up for bell choir. We had to move all that stuff to the church, unload, set up, and then take it down afterwards too! This isn't during the performance, but near the end of the set-up time. We were first, so that the tables could then be moved out of the way for the rest of the program.
I want to say that the kids did a great job. They sang "Away in a Manger" in counterpoint to a different melody the choir was singing behind them. They were loud enough and on key. The younger girls were dressed in St. Lucia costumes, although that celebratrion doesn't come for another week, I think. The microphone kept me from getting a really good picture, but it's still cute.
Afterwards, they served cake and ice cream, egg nog, and wassail punch in the fellowship hall.
It was as full a day as I'm interested in any more! But great. I really enjoyed the Christmas celebration.
Today, I've mostly taken it easy. My goal has been to work at cleaning up the house a bit.
