Rehearsal One

Hey folks! Yesterday we had our first rehearsal with 25 singers and I think it went really well. We gave out the scripts and started the audition process for our Christmas musical, Angels Aware. We hope we can have the Listening CD's in time for this Sunday's rehearsal (3-5pm), but we might have to wait another week for the post. In the meanwhile, you can listen to pieces of the songs at http://www.praisegathering.com/Site/Detail.asp?tid=4979

The younger singers (Joyful Noise!) who are from 4 years old through those entering the first grade this fall were able to learn some of the motions from the first few songs and seemed to especially enjoy the motions for "The Perfect 10." It's my favorite of the songs so far and I'm sure you'll love it as much as Joyful Noise! already seems to. I'm really looking forward to next week's rehearsal and I hope that all of our 28 registered singers will be there; or even more - if you'd like to register your singer with us, as with all of the groups at White Bluff UMC, all are welcome!

The picture above is from our Kickoff Banquet last week which was attended with fantastic food by Lisa McGalliard. If you don't know this great lady, be sure to take the time to say "Hello!" You'll be glad you did. In addition to enjoying some entertainment from our kids, we had the chance to see (and dance with) the Savannah Drama Club, led by Pastor Carl Gilliard. It was great to get to meet and worship with some of our neighbors in Christ! Our Singers Family Handbooks are still available; feel free to call or e-mail me at ronnalford@bellsouth.net if you would like one.

Each week I hope to bring you some highlights of the rehearsal and while the Newsletter will have details as well, expect to see even more depth written here. Comments are welcome and encouraged, especially of things you'd like to see on this blog!

Blessings,

Ronn
