GREAT THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

The past few days have been great. Thursday we visited with the Rivera family, Paul, Josie and Lori. Paul is the Youth Director and sings with the Worship Team. Lori sings great special songs and sings with the Worship team. WE LOVE YOU!
Yesterday and today have been great days for Sister Karen and I. We enjoyed greatly the singing by the Bethel Renaissance Choir and the Bethel Chorale. Jason, our son is in both groups. The songs were very uplifting as the Choir "raised the rafters" with praise songs. There were Hymnals written by Fannie Crosby, Contemporary worship songs, Bluegrass songs, love songs from the 50's and there was also a Mime Worship Group. We went to the choir program Friday night and Saturday night. We went to the Chorale program today. The Chorale dressed and sang in Medieval Costumes and sang songs of that day. This was mine and Karen's first time to hear the groups since Jason started to college at Bethel College in McKenzie, TN, in August this year. He is attending on a music scholarship and we are very "proud" of him. The best word I can use to describe the Renaissance singing program is GREAT! Anyone who can go see them would be blessed. They are performing over 100 times throughout this school year in different cities across the United States and a possible singing tour in Europe next Summer.

Also this afternoon around 2-3 pm we visited with Cathy and Don at Don's new house in Sharon, TN. It is an awesome place there with giant trees. The fall colors were great. Don Van Meter had his birthday party today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON!
