December 10-11, 2005
This year our church presented a Living Christmas Tree, for the Christmas season. Being loyal choir members, we wanted very much to be a part of the performance. We stayed “home” for an extra week so that we could be in it, leaving for Florida on the 12th.
A large scaffold in the shape of a Christmas tree was erected in the church parking lot. Can yiy find Delton and Joni in the tree???? It was decorated with lots of lights and color. Spotlights and tree lights were programmed to change and move with the music that we sang. As people came to see our performance, they were greeted by parking lot attendants who directed them as to where to park. Then they were offered hot chocolate and cookies and were told to tune their car radios to a certain channel where they could listen to our music. They could choose to remain in their cars or sit outside and listen.
We had an early freeze this year and were concerned that we would have to move inside, but God gave us warm up just in time. Even so, there were heaters placed under and inside the tree, blowing hot air on the us as we sang. We were not cold.
It was great to be able to in choir again – even for a short time. We have travels around and visited a lot of churches, but there is nothing better than being at your home church and being part of a church family. A good time was had by the choir, band and all who attended.
