I hope you haven't
forgotten about Nimrod, Ishmael, Balaam, and Ithamar from
our spring concert. What a challenge "Rejoice in the Lamb"
was for all of us! We met that challenge and look forward to
the next one this December. Let me bring you up to date on
NKCC happenings and an experience Peggy and I had this
summer.
As most of you know, a
group representing NKCC left for Holland and Belgium on June
12th and toured until the 22nd. There were twenty-five of us
and we sang four concerts during our ten day visit. All of
the concerts were well received by audiences of around 100
to 150 each. We experienced the usual Dutch treats,
chocolate, windmills, Delft pottery, Belgium waffles, wooden
shoes, and Rembrandt paintings. We also had excellent food,
some charming hotels, and a great guide/bus driver. It was
fun to spread the gospel of NKCC all over a foreign country
and to experience the people and culture of Holland. We all
want to go back some day!
Peggy and I attended a
week long Presbyterian Church Music Conference in Montreat,
North Carolina this summer. We were members of a 600 voice
choir and attended classes on choral and church music. We
attended a worship service each day in which new and
exciting concepts of worship were presented. The choral man
was excellent and I cannot wait to share some of his ideas
with you this fall!
Please
help us recruit good singers for the choir, especially
basses and tenors. We appreciate everyone, however, so we
look forward to seeing you on the 12th!
Sincerely,
John 0. Westlund
