Wow, this looks very cool! And a great idea for a fundraiser!
Dan, the hymn festival was actually donated by the cantor and purchased by a member of Bethany at a fundraising auction by the church and school. Then the purchaser requested that the hymn fest itself (and the free will offering) benefit LCFS. So this hymn festival was a material blessing to both our church and LCFS as well as being a spiritual blessing to all who were present (and to all who may now listen to the podcast)! Not only that, the cantor also donated two new hymn concertatos to the auction--those were purchased by congregation members (and composed on hymns requested by the purchasers) with the funds going to the church and school. Both compositions were then premiered at this hymn fest.
It sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing. Since I am home from church with young, sick, children, it is a blessing to me this morning as well!
Cheryl, thanks for the details. I can't wait to hear all of this.
How about posting the program and links at Fine Tuning?
