christmas time is here

We just started all our Christmas shows for the season, and especially the coming week is, shall we say…… CRAZY???? Between December 6-14 we give no fewer than SIX shows in eight days . Yesterday we played at the annual tree lighting at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center. It started snowing halfway through the program, which was – next to Santa arriving on a fire truck – easily the most magical moment of the night! Today we play a concert for the troops at Fort Lee Military Base – several people have volunteered to bake cookies so we’re bringing home-baked Christmas-goodies along to serve before and after the event. This coming Tuesday we’re playing a last-minute gig at Spiritual Shots, Friday we’re at the Hospital Hospitality House, Saturday December 13 we play at Short Pump Town Center, and Sunday December 14 we’re at McGuire VA Hospital. And that is just this week…….

This, to me, is Christmas….. sharing the gift of music, and the gift of God’s love through that music. It’s a lot of work and long days and nights – but there is no way I’d rather celebrate! I’ll post updates, pics, and perhaps even some videos later tonight or tomorrow!

Chris Grantier, the amazing worship leader at Bon Air Baptist, is playing keyboards for us all season and we LOVE her!
