Easter Sunday

Today we decided not to go to a sunrise service but were at the Dummerston Church at 8:30a.m. for choir. We had a good rehearsal and the service went very well: we sang Alleluia by Mozart, the Taizé chant O Lord,Hear My Prayer, William Billing's Easter Anthem, a South African Alleluia, and to end the service, Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah. You can see/hear the entire service on Facebook at the Dummerston Church page. A pleasant surprise was that Betty Ann Loomis and her husband were there. Betty Ann was in my junior high school youth group back in 1958 or so. Her brother, Crosby, was president of the high school group. And Hallowell sang for her mother, Alice, and Ellen got to know her and really liked her. I hadn't seen Bety Ann for ages. They drove down from the Burlington area yesterday. It was a real treat to see her again.

Choir this morning from Facebook.
