November 18, 2011 by Birgit Chisholm under Worship,

Hello Christmas Eve Choir members!

Thanks so much for coming out and joining us last night. And to those who would still like to, there is still time. See the schedule below! Making music is always more fun the more people you get to make it with, and last night was no exception. I really enjoyed working on “Adam Lay Ybounden” with you and though we didn’t get to work on “Let Our Gladness Know No End” as much as I would have liked, we will pick it up again in two weeks and get it sounding great.
