I really enjoyed rehearsal last night, as I hope you did. I feel like we are making some great progress on the Christmas music. I realize it's a challenge to get the excitement level up for a rehearsal, but that extra energy we add to the music lets me know that you're grasping the concepts I throw at you. With the songs we are doing for Christmas, it is extremely important to express excitement and joy. That's why I keep harping on the surges and dynamics of this stuff. Keep up the great work!

Remember we are singing "I'm Amazed" Sunday morning and "Built on the Rock" and "My Hope" Sunday evening. If possible, I'd love to have everyone at rehearsal on Sunday afternoon at 4:45 in the Sanctuary. This will give us a chance to really nail the settings for sound needs. (We WILL have chairs in the loft for Sunday night) Thank you for what you do, and let's look forward to an exciting day as we worship this Sunday.
