Fabulous Choir Performance

I am writing to say how proud, humbled and moved I am thanks to the ministry of the MCCSF Choir at GALA yesterday (Sunday). WOW! It was all perfect. Starting with the intro from Stephanie which relaxed the audience right away because she directly told them "No, we're not here to tell you you're going to hell. We're here to tell you that God thinks you are fabulous. And that you are perfect just the way that you are!!!

The audience loved that. And breathed a sigh of relief. Then Rick captured their ears with his first high, clear, strong tone...followed by Larry's deep bone-vibrating message, and then Jill's fabuous invitation to give God another try. I know that many more than than me were weeping by this point. We were having us some church!!!

And just in case the audience thought the Worship and Praise choir was just a backup group for incredible soloists...there was Benedictus!!! In the silence through every tone, you could feel the audience's admiration and appreciation climbing for MCCSF's technical singing prowess combined with the deeply spiritual experience of hearing this group sing!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your incredible mission of reclaiming God for all of us. I know that there were many people here yesterday who will be changed forever as a result of what you did!!!

Blessings to you and thanks for your blessings to me,
