Today we hear of Simeon who waited his whole life to see the Messiah…

New Year’s day marks yet one of many beginnings in our life….

My arrangement of “Silent Night” arranged for 2 and half octave of handbells with handbell solo.

The Song of Mary with the beautiful Bach/Gounod version of Ave Maria played on handbells.

Today on the 4th Sunday of Advent we focus on “Love” and how much God has loved us.

Today we explore the story behind the song about the “hero” of Christmas…

What happens when you take a pianist who nothing to do and a piano? …. Yes that is my Christmas tree…

From our Christmas musical offering (December 12, 2021), here is my church handbell choir playing Carol of the Bells arranged by Jason W. Krug.

Although the text is set around the parable of the wise and foolish virgins – this tune has become associated with Advent and many of its images are appropriate for this season of waiting and preparing.

What a beautiful song for the today a reminder to give God thanks for everything.
