Wesley Choral Festival

My thoughts have been with Tim Koch and our choir members who are in New York for the Wesley Choral Festival. Last night was the concert at Lincoln Center commerating the Tercentenary of Charles Wesley's birth. We will have an opportunity to hear much of this music at Wheelwright Auditorium at Coastal Carolina University on March 17. Andy Fowler has written a new composition based on Wesley's "Directions for Singing" for this year of celebration. It is exciting to have such talented people in our midst.

Beginning February 26, Tim will be leading the study, Praising the God of Grace. This eight- week small group study will explore the theology of Charles Wesley's hymns. After reading much of this text and knowing Tim's teaching abilities, this promises to be a special opportunity for greater understanding of Methodism. Hope I can convince others to be a part of this study.

"Start spreadin' the news." I hope that they don't have "these little town blues" after they have been to the "top of the heap" being "A#1". Please try to attend the March 17 concert. You'll "wake up in a city that never sleeps". Congrats to them, and welcome home.
