On Saturday we traveled to Wagener, SC. When we arrived a the New Holland Mennonite Church in Wagener their children’s choir was already there to rehearse with us and we jumped right in unloading the risers then headed straight into rehearsal. The children had been very well prepared for their part of the song and they interacted with the choir comfortably and joyfully. To hear their young voices blending with the more mature voices of the choir was a beautiful experience!
We then went to Wendi Martin’s home where her family had prepared a meal for us. It was an evening full of good food, games, and fulfilling conversation. The Martin family welcomed us so graciously, making it easy to find some much needed relaxation.
Sunday morning we attended the New Holland Mennonite Church where we sang three hymns between Sunday School and Church. Later in the day we had a concert there and were blessed with a full church. The children’s choir joined us for Give To Our God Immortal Praise. These are unique moments that we treasure as a choir.
We continue our journey’s through South Carolina going to Abbeville for a concert on Monday evening.
