WAY Choir Sings
Sing it, choir!

On Thursday evening, I sat in the camp meeting tent, and as you sang, I was completely overwhelmed by the presence of God. On one of my blog posts, I wrote this: "WAY choir (comprised of young, unmarried people from around the district) effected such grand and magnificent music as should be heard in the finest of concert halls, except that their singing was accompanied by such deep and sincere worship that only in chambers of the sacred should such performance occur."
In another column, I posted from YouTube your singing the moving conclusion: Grace, Grace. Already it has profoundly touched people who read at my site.
Thank you, Brother and Sister Fitzpatrick, Brother and Sister Allard, every choir member and anyone else who have participated in the formation and continuation of this ministry. It is a personal blessing to me, and I am confident to the wider Church of Jesus Christ.
Observing such talented young people coupled with such worship and dedication prompts me to again understand that The Church is in good hands. In no way is God in trouble.
From my heart--thank you.
Sis. Buxton - thank you so much for your vote of confidence.
Sis Buxton - I agree with you that the Church is in good hands. The precious understanding of the importance of total commitment and devotion to Jesus and the reward of sincere worship to Him from our heart is instilled deeply in the WAY Choir members. We experienced the result of this combination in the overwhelming presence of God that filled the service. We can experience nothing greater than His Presence as mortal human beings.
