Choir retreat

Today we held our choir retreat to mark the end of this year's choir season. Before our picnic lunch at the Little's lakeside home, we had a fruitful conversation about what choir means to us and we shared our hopes and dreams for next year's choir.

Several of us spoke about how important music is to our spirituality, and how for us singing is praying. All of us value the relationships formed in choir, and we resolved to do better next year in spending social time together as a choir.

We agreed that we want to have enough time to prepare a high-quality anthem, and so we'll only offer an anthem very two weeks or so next year. We also decided to spend a Sunday afternoon at the Little's once every two months to really work on some music.

We sang a round together for our grace, and after lunch we sang from the "Wonder, Love and praise" Hymnal. It was lovely to sing together and hear our voices blend with each other.
