Church stuff

So church was wonderful tonight.  What else is new?  I got there about 10 minutes before 6pm, when it was supposed to start and only Father Keith and his wife were there.  Then, lo and behold, 3 young, sweet high school girls walked in and there we were.  Six of us, and it was a delight.  I don't know but I enjoy the services more when they're really small.  The girls sat in the nave (called the sanctuary by other Protestants) and Father Keith, his wife and I sat in the chancel (altar/choir) area and did the readings, etc.  Lovely.

Oh, and as the three of us were talking afterward---Father Keith looked directly at me and asked if I sang.  I shuffled my feet, looked back at him and said that, yes, I did, but I said it in more like, "Yeeeeeessss, I sing," (while eye-rolling and shaking my head, and thinking that I couldn't believe he was asking that). He grinned and asked again..."No, really.  Do you sing?".  The second time he asked, I had to laugh.  Said I used to in school and that it'd been ages since I'd read music.  Well, now I'm snookered into singing with the choir for Christmas.  Man. He was clever.  Why he asked, I have no clue.  I think they just need bodies.  The choir on Sundays is only, tops, about 6 folks anyhow.  Interested parties, please apply.

So, the roll-call now is one daughter a junior acolyte, one daughter to be an angel in the Christmas pageant, and one mom singing in the choir.  I need me some boys to do stuff, yes?
