A powerful service

The funeral for Pooja Meyer was one of the most powerful services I have ever attended. It was a wonderful tribute to her, starting with scores of her photographs being projected on to a screen (she was a budding professional photographer and obviously gifted in that area), and then many tributes from friends and family, very wonderful and appropriate music, and free expressions of emotion. Our pastor, Lise Sparrow, once again did a masterful job of preparing and leading the service, and she was assisted by many member volunteers - all this in Centre Church (which holds many more people), and thus not a familiar venue. It was full to overflowing.

Then in the evening we had a great River Singers concert, and another one this afternoon.  Both went really well. This morning was church in Dummerston - a small choir helped with the congregational singing. Pastor Shawn did triple duty, leading the service, and playing both piano and harp. It was also the Sunday School Christmas Pageant day.
