Spiritual Renewal Week begins

Rehearsal for the Tuesday night concert

It feels so good to be having Spiritual Renewal Week in-person once again.

At tonight’s choir rehearsal we had singers from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, Assisi, and Ananda Village (of course).

It’s not a large choir such as we’ve had some years, but it’s thrilling to finally be singing all together once again.

What joy!

Mark your calendar!

We’re so happy to be offering an actual live, in-person Christmas concert this year (though it’s sad to still be without our big choir). It will also be live streamed, of course; you can save the link above (or even set a reminder) to be ready to view on Saturday, December 18 at 5:00pm (PST).

Last year’s Christmas concert was completely online, with singers from various Ananda communities contributing videos.

Since May our small singing group has been performing regularly for Sunday services and occasional special events, but usually just two songs at a time; never more than three or four.

So it came as a surprise how tired I was feeling during our second rehearsal for the Christmas concert! I realized that we haven’t done a full concert since Christmas of 2019, and now an hour-long concert feels like a LOT of music!
