Sun, Moon, & Stars (Music at Atria LG) – August 4th, 2025

This was our first time to bring music at Atria again since my Dad, Grandpa Gene, passed away – such a bittersweet time for Shelly, Patricia, Paul, and me. The staff gathered and encouraged residents, I played songs on the piano, Shelly and Patricia showed and shared many creative props with the residents, Paul ran tech, many other staff members walked past, and we all experienced comfort, joy, and peace as the music washed over our souls. It is truly a blessing to share God’s gift of music!

We hope that the gift of music that we share today will awaken each of us to more wonder at the handiwork of our loving Creator in all of the varieties of beauty and brightness in the skies above us! All glory to God!
