Lancing College Chapel

If Anyone wonders how churchgoers could possibly enjoy singing the old hymns for centuries before we discovered rock music, try singing in one of these chapels/cathedrals. It's amazing. In fact, a full band would sound awful in there because of the echo, but one voice sounds like a thousand.
Next week, Germany. I am feeling really good right now. God had an attitude check with me and things are better for me now. Everyone is tired, of course, but that's a way of life now. In Germany, we are working with a band called Groundstaff. They said they're going to go easier on us than the team last year because they burned them out a bit. Apparently, that didn't work out so well. That seems too obvious to me, but our team is not totally innocent of overworking ourselves either. For the most part, it hasn't been brutal, so I think our team is very fortunate in terms of business.
We have a lot of prep work to do before Germany that won't all get done. We'd like to have some more program items running; some dramas and maybe a few songs, but that's not looking so promising right now. We'll have to play it by ear. Coralie is the scheduler and I feel bad for her. I know how frustrating it is when there is never enough time to do everything and she can be hard on herself when she makes a scheduling error. She does such a good job! Some things just have to be pushed out of the way if we're ever going to take a break. Thanks for your prayers.
