after hours

I'm dreaming of lazier summer days. After work on Tuesday I looked up Oakleaf Pottery in Bally. Roy Yoder had this sign on his door. Maybe church music pressure will lighten up a bit. But then Easter will be on the horizon. I'll just wait until summertime.

Roy Yoder, a potter not far from Souderton, was the feature "speaker" at the appreciation breakfast for the ministers of the two local MCUSA conferences. I was the song leader.

Roy: the piece is being shaped from both outside and inside.

Songs: "I owe the Lord a morning song," "gathered here in the mystery of this hour" (with motions), Chinese thanksgiving hymn (with hand chimes), advent ancient chant "Creator of the stars of night (with hand chimes), "Spirit of the living God" (hum with eyes closed first time), and "O beautiful star of Bethlehem."
