    Reflections

    There are so many to thank as we reflect on our recent Christmas Production, Hope is Born, Emmanuel! Obviously, a production such as ours is no small undertaking. So many contributed to the completion of this project. If recognition was expressed for everyone who gave of their time and talent, it would take every page of this Forerunner to list names and contributions.

    So many gifts were shared to bring this project to fruition. We count on the talents of singers, instrumentalists, narrators, announcers, choreographers, dancers (angels), actors, various directors, technicians (sound and lighting), visual designers, decorators, and greeters to bring everything together! As some would say – it truly takes a village – and we at Fee Fee are very blessed with people of such diverse talents! Thanks also to our Fee Fee family who offered words of encouragement along the way!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

    Here is Your Playlist for October

    I decided it might be interesting to take a journey through the decades and select some music representative of the 1930s on down to the present. Some of the music may reflect a style much before your time, and as we get closer to the music you remember, you may enjoy some music you haven’t heard for a very long time!
