the songs of Christmas
Last night we performed Emmanuel at an Anglican church called St. John the Evangelist in Niagara Falls. It was a small crowd, but I really enjoyed the performance — something about it was very warm. It’s a privilege to be able to read the Word of God in these performances, along with my own narrations, and to sing the songs of Christmas — the songs of Emmanuel, God With Us.
Earlier today I got online to listen to a radio show being hosted down in Louisiana. My friends Katie, Paige, and Steven Rees (three parts of the family Cajun band L’Angelus) were on, doing an interview and performing a few songs from their new Christmas album, O Night Divine. (You can hear song clips and purchase the CD at this link.) I dearly wish they lived closer, but it was fun to hear them, and very special to know that we’re not the only ones singing the songs of Emmanuel at this time of year!
