Before each song, a prayer request for peace and intervention for a specific country where unrest exists was given.
Also, as a song leader I heard the CHOIR in the pews singing loud and wonderfully - there were several songs where I just listened to the melodious sounds of a great choir singing to our Lord! It was a celestial experience for those of us who love music.
The song list is posted at the bottom of this blog!!
St. Thomas is having more 50th anniversary events this year, culminating in the first service after the renovation of the church - on Sept 10, 2011.
