What a great team!

Dear Team Choir of Hope Stars!

You did it!  The Seahawks squeaked by with 2 points to win;   The Choir of Hope won by a bunch, no squeaker for you folks!

• Points for the stellar performance of the O Sanctissima
• Big points for the beautiful treble soprano and alto unison in the Gloria!   Best ever!
• Points also for the Contralti, tenori, bassi in the Gloria.   Winners!
• Touchdown for Thomas on the Psalm! sweet, praise-filled, moving.
• and another big touchdown for Thomas and Daniel on the Gospel Verse.   We are so blessed to have these beautiful voices give so generously to the choir.
• lots of points for the lovely, gentle, prayerful chant singing of the choir on the Communion, The God whom earth and sea and sky..
• Homerun (I know, I know, wrong sport! but it was a homerun) in the Stadlmayr.   with our guest 4' pipe singing of Joanne with Obi and Jamie.
• and then the game was over with the huge victory of the rockin' and rollin' Go, tell it on the mountain!    great choral singing, great solo singing Calvalita and Jerome, great congregational singing!   

a winner of an evening.  and all without the assigned Cantor.    Thank you Choir of Hope.   What a great team.    I had guests from Persia at Christ our Hope this evening.   They were sooo very impressed with you.   So am I.

See you Tuesday, January 3 at 7:30 at Choir of Hope rehearsal to prepare for our great Festival of Light--the Epiphany of the Lord.
