These talented students, musicians in their own right, of every known personality, height, weight and coloring were the ones who made the beautiful sounds of Christmas music. Yes, Bob the director coached and kept them to the music. Bob kept them faithful to the score. And yet, it was the kids who made the music.
And on that note, I want to give you – the members of our wonderful church - a special gift of appreciation this Christmas season.
You are the ones responsible for the ministry to our members and our community. Sure, I am a minister of the Word and Sacrament, endeavoring to keep us faithful to Gods’s music, but you are the band who makes the music.
The sounds are the ones you make. You are the band; you are the ones on stage. It is your face the audience sees (our community). You are the musicians; I just keep you faithful to God’s score. Whatever happens on stage is because of you.
So thank you. This is my opportunity to move to the side of the stage and let the thanks be directed your way, thank you!
