Holy Week is just around the corner

[mmitch47]

First rehearsal: took crown of thorns from Israel and passed it around letting each person to listen to soundtrack and think about what we were beginning. Then we went and retrieved our costumes from the upstairs storage. When they found the bloody shirt of Jesus they shared some interesting comments. Took 15 min. for all but one. That person got to be a real pain. The one she wore 7 years ago when we did it the first time didsn't fit any more. Hmmm oh the things that happen when we age...I thanked God that I learned to go with the flow alon time ago. It wasn't me that was frustrated. I was excited to hear them say Can I take it (costume) home to embellish it....oh they are getting hooked on my constant cry for costume jewelry etc. when they are all going yard saling. Then we sang along with the CD. For some it was a repeat. For some a very new thing. This cantata is narrated by Luke. It has some very serious moments. I think it is going to be done on Good Friday so it will be finished in acapella because we cannot /will not sing the hallelujah finale on Good Friday night. I do not know yet if we are singing at Easter Sunrise. If we do we will sing the finale then. It is amazing I meet Jesus every time I am conducting.
