Singing

Last Saturday night I attended a gospel choir workshop-which is a fancy name for a rehearsal. In October Franklin Graham is coming to Osaka. Our choir director has been asked to lead a choir for the Saturday night event. He is aiming to have a 1000 member choir. I have to admit, my faith is pretty small sometimes. I thought that there would be no way we'd have that many people. As of last Saturday night, 550 people are signed up! They are from many places around the area and we won't all practice together until the weekend of the event.

But, last Saturday night over 200 of us gathered in Osaka for a rehearsal. The room was completely packed, I am sure waaaay over the fire code number! It was amazing to sing praises together with over 200 people. We sang three songs that we had learned at the first rehearsal and then learned two new songs.

Here is a glimpse of the room...
