Above is the little group that somehow takes 5 new songs and (tries to) makes them sound inviting, well rehearsed and spiritual every Sunday [Hello to Strings of Faith at First Pres!!]. Pastor Trimble (to my right) does an outstanding job of mentoring this eclectic minstrel group (might be a good name?) weekly. Of course, changes occur regularly with a volunteer group like this. Caleb Brown (young pilot from Texas) with the guitar in the middle has a great voice and rhythm that keeps everyone rolling. I am awed by the burdens carried by our service members and am grateful for the short refuge offered every Sunday from 9-10 am. We (the "chapel staff" arrive at 7 am just to rehearse, prepare Sacrements and have a cup of coffee (if for no other reason than to warm your hands). [Good memories that I look forward to share.]
I'm coming home in 4 weeks! The count down begins...
Love,
Christopher
