This past Sunday evening we attended and greatly enjoyed Park Cities Presbyterian Church’s Remember Concert. A large choir with full orchestra accompaniment performed Duruflé’s Requiem and several other songs related to life after death (Be Still My Soul, For All the Saints, I Was Glad, Shall We Gather that the River, Down to the River to Pray, and Amazing Grace). The congregation was able to participate in singing and reciting some liturgy. Josh said singing For All the Saints with full orchestra, choir, and a large congregation was worth the whole evening. (And it was free!) We knew about it because one of Josh’s dissertation committee members is a member of the choir.

The church had free child care during the concert. Becca was excited about going to the “special place” and had a great time playing. It was nice for Josh and me to attend something without having to worry about finding a babysitter.

Tomorrow marks one month until Little Brother’s due date. All is going well. People keep asking me if I’m ready…I guess we’ll find out when the time comes. (Special thanks to R. Pringle for the new outfit – it was nice to get dressy for the concert.)
