Christmas Musings 2008

"Joy to the World". Got the holiday spirit? I've been humming Christmas Carols for weeks now. The packages are all mailed,the house is decorated, and there's a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground.
"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."
"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." The Kansas City Chorale (my husband Scott sings low bass with this group)gave two beautiful Christmas Music Concerts last week. It's an interesting fact that 5 of the 24 Singers are UMC Choir Directors, from various towns in the Kansas City Area. They're excited to be nominated for a couple more Grammy Awards for 2008. Last year, they won a Grammy for Best Engineered Album.
"Angels we Have Heard on High." Our Church Choir presents its annual Christmas Cantata this Sunday. We're hoping for good weather through Sunday.
On Christmas Eve, Kearney UMC will hold three services and the combined choirs will sing at the seven-thirty service. Our tradition is to close the service with the choir singing "Peace" and the congregation singing, "Silent Night".

"We Wish You A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
