A Bow the Knee Billboard Story

I met a couple this morning after the 9:00 worship service. They introduced themselves and then said that they had sung Bow the Knee at their church in Florida a few years ago. They moved to Clarksville last year and are actually members of another church, but they have been visiting our church the last few weeks. They said they saw one of our Bow the Knee billboards and decided to visit our church because of that. I told them that I didn't want to steal them away from their church, but that if they did ever decide to come to Hilldale that we would want them to sing in the choir.

By the way, today is day 11 of our countdown.

Tomorrow we will be sending out via snail mail a rehearsal schedule. We talked about this Saturday about how many of our choir don't get my e-mails. Some don't read the blog. (I know it's hard to believe.) And some only check their e-mail every other Thursday if it isn't raining.

If you have an e-mail/blog challenged friend in choir, make sure he or she knows about our rehearsal tomorrow night at 6:00 in the Sanctuary ( see yesterday's post ) - on stage. See you then!

41A Bypass Billboard

Here we are on day 21 of our super-duper Bow the Knee Hilldale's Passion Play countdown. We want to thank Traci for pointing out during rehearsal last night - what was it, 50 times? - that we were on day 22. I think my stomach did a flip every time she said it.

While I'm thanking people, my thanks again to the alto section for finding a band-aide for my paper cut. I never realized how talking with your hands could be hazardous - well, I guess I've noticed that while driving. You have to keep at least one hand on the wheel which sometimes totally messes up expressing oneself properly.

Speaking of driving. Have you ever thought about highway 41A? Does that mean there is a 41B? I don't think I've ever seen it if there is...

Here's the billboard over there on the 41A Bypass. Doesn't it look great?
The billboard people have to do their own artwork, but they used the design made by our very own Julie who does such a fantastic job with all of our publications.
