- Go to Whose Music Tradition is BEST??? I'm Too Biased, So YOU Decide!
Thanks, Renigade and AJ for stopping by.
That movie sounds great! I'll have to look for it. Great idea!
Reni, the Baptists do know how to sing, eh? I attend a Wesleyan church and I'd say we do a pretty darn good job, too. I'm always reinvigorated after singing a bunch of hymns on a Sunday morning.
God bless!

Although I am Catholic now, I still miss my days singing in the Baptist
church.

Ever See The Movie, Ms. Scrooge?
She's a black, contemporary, female version of Ebenezer Scrooge, and, as in the many other versions of Dickens' wonderful and timeless story, she does a II Corinthians 5:17 after a spirit-filled night!
In this version, her nephew is a minister, and she goes to his church--and he's shocked and happy to see her.
As she comes into the church, the choir is doing a really spirit-filled version of Go Tell It On The Mountain! and you see her nephew's face glowing brighter and brighter at the realization that his Aunt Ebonita has actually decided to be there. And even the choir--already lively and spirit-filled--seems to be singing even more beautifully!!!
She sits by his wife and cute, little girl (her great-niece) who is played by that adorable, little girl who used to be on The Cosby Show and now has her own show, That's So Raven.
Never fails to bring tears of joy to me!
Blessings!

thanks for stopping by. But hey, if you cannot sing in a large choir, you can at least turn up the volume at home and sing at the top of your lungs. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

That's Great
You have a 1000 in your church and you have 7000 in your community. Your choir must sound beautiful. I wish I could sing in a choir that size. I used to sing for 13 years. Maybe in the future.

Pity I don't have my speakers connected.
I gotta admit, I love music. Worship wouldn't be the same without it.

Hi Justso --
that's most impressive that you'd have a church of 1,000 in a community of 7,000. You must live in the Bible belt, eh? I hadn't heard of the term "Sunday opera," but I love it! As always, thanks for stopping by.

Moondawg, you are so right on!
If I'm down in the dumps, I crank up the music . . . and that's usually all it takes!

Jane'sO
Another wonderful post. I really like different types. Choir (the kind my daddy called Sunday Opera), Southern Gospel, and Modern Christian Bands. My husband plays in our church in one of these modern bands. We are in a large church for our area. Our town is a population of only 7,000 and we have more than 1,000 members in our church. Three services and Sunday Opera sings for two and we have a Praise Band for the Contemporary Service. I like it all including Blue Grass.

There is nothing like
good old gospel music to get the spirit and body moving.
