Choir Appreciation Night

September 13 at Wednesday Night Fellowship Dinner

 

At the Wednesday Night Fellowship Supper on September 13, about 55-60 Trinity members serenaded the Chancel Choir in less than dulcet tones.  Boy, are we glad they are the ones sitting up there in the choir loft (or over there in the right front pews)! 

We cherish their time and talent donated to Trinity and to the glory of God who graced them with their voices that bring such beauty to our worship services.  Each one in the choir is a busy person, so their devotion of their time and talent to us is a special gift--and we gratefully appreciate it.

 

The hall was festooned with signs of our appreciation.

      

                       HELLO, CHOIR!    

       (tune:  “Hello, Dolly”)

 

Hel- lo,  Choir,  Well,  Hel- lo   Choir   

It’s so nice  to see you there where you belong.  

   

We think you’re swell,  Choir.    We can tell,  Choir,

You sing  high notes ---  

You sing low notes  --  

You keep going strong

 

We feel the spirit moving 

through your voices singing  some of our old 

favorite songs from  way back when.      

 

So hats off to you Choir   

from each and all of us,   Choir.

Choir   you’re  the  very best       

Yes-sir   you’re  the very  best

Choir   we  love  and  honor  you  tonight.

 

A token of our appreciation:  They got to go through the line first!

The choir members and their families had the "Guests of Honor" places at the head table.

         

      OUR FAITHFUL CHOIR

                   (tune:  “She’ll be Coming Round the Mountain”)

 

She’ll be coming from across the River when she comes

He’ll be coming down McFarland when he comes

They’ll  give music all attention;  and oh, did we mention?

They’ll be coming from all directions when they come.

 

She’ll be singing high soprano when she comes

He’ll be hitting oh so low notes notes when he comes

They’ll be blending many voices   on selected hymnal choices.

They’ll be singing like God’s angels when they come.

 

We appreciate your service all these years.

We appreciate your service all these years.

You have been a faithful choir.   Bowing heads, we lift you high - er.

We appreciate your service all these years.

 

Jon House, Director, expressed the feelings of the choir for the demonstration of love and gratitude from the congregation.  He diplomatically did not comment on the musical quality of the serenade.
