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.

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

Remembering those who died in the New Orleans arson, Under Hitler, aids, and being LGBT.

June 20, 2021 my church returned to in-service worship. Our handbell choir played my adaptation of “Blest be the tie that binds” as the Opening Hymn. As always – enjoy
