Just finished the Christmas Candlelight Carol Service at First Baptist tonight, as always with the Chancel Choir, the Runnymede Singers, and the Chorale of the Friday Morning Music Club. Musical highlights included Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium, Mendelssohn’s Say Where He is Born and There Shall A Star, and Rutter’s Gloria. Unlike last year, David and I were not needed to light candles.

I got photos. Note Mary’s glasses in the tableau shot. (Rough panorama above was taken by another choir member from the pulpit. Can you find me?)
