Many Thanks

My dear WP friends,
I am writing to thank you for sharing the incredible journey we made together. I have missed singing with you all so much, the tour just filled me up, nourished me and brought me closer to God, my voice, and of course you-all. I just love how well we played together, sang together, traveled together - all with our focused mission of healing others. I felt we were truly blessed the whole trip. Our GALA set was awesome - perfect in every way, and yet my favorite part was the tour - getting to sing a full concert of wonderful music with my friends in Spirit 3 nights in a row! You might have noticed me bawling after the Tampa set. It's because I realized that that would be the last time I would be singing Total Praise with you for a long time. (besides the fact that we just finished singing 3 full, Spirit-filled concerts in a row - the heart gets a little open and overwhelmed I think - esp when it's used to singing a few songs during service with a week in between to recover!) Thank you for being my brothers and sisters, my MCCSF family, for being the loving, supportive, caring, inspiring, committed, and Spirit-ed. You will always be a part of me, and for that I give great thanks. I hope to be able to come visit again in Sept or early Nov and I'm hoping that means I will be able to sing with you again!
With gratitude and love,Your Cary

MCCSFWP Tour

Here are some pics from our fabulous tour. All 3 churches were wonderfully kind and generous, feeding us like queens and hosting and organizing our home stays.
We were truly blessed!
Christ Covenant MCC, Decatur, GA - a.k.a. Tessie and Lisa's Church!







Ready to rock and roll!
For our afternoon off in Atlanta, Cheri/Cheryl, Andra, Wendy, Jill and I went to The MLK Jr. Center





Wow, does Tessie and Lisa's church know about Southern Hospitality! Great eats and lots of it!


It was GREAT singing with Lisa and Tessie again!



Trinity MCC, Gainesville, GA - a.k.a. Joe and Erik's church!



Poor baby!




Jen's very happy at our homestay!

We're very happy to have some down time at Joe and Erik's. Incredible spread they put out for us with Erik taking our orders and Joe grilling like crazy!









Aaaahhhhh!



MCC of Tampa - a.k.a. Phylis and (oh my, I can't remember her partner's name!)'s church










Our hosts: the Barbara's of Hollywood (Georgia that is!)
On the road again
