Karen’s Sun, Moon, & Stars (Music and Ministry at Meadowbrook)

This month for Music & Ministry at Meadowbrook, we brought our set, “Sun, Moon, & Stars.” The residents and staff absolutely loved it, joining in with their cut-outs and calling out, singing and swaying, welcoming and weeping. There was a beautiful unity in the room as we sang songs that included some kind of references to the sun, the moon, or the stars. Pam discovered that, due to tech issues, it’s actually better to not use a mic in that room, as far as being “among” goes during her fabulous MC-ing. JR prepared delicious treats and also brought a powerful word about the Sun and the Son – Jesus, who gave his life for us so that we can really live! Shelly hit it out of the park with her props and cut-outs, presenting another one of her awesome cross paintings to a very grateful resident. Patricia kept everyone on track with the Powerpoint and singing. Paul set up and ran tech, always a blessing, and Karen tinkled the ivories. In spite of severe physical or mental challenges, many entered in both to the joys and sorrows of the songs and of life wholeheartedly – the Lord visibly touched hearts all over the room. All glory to God!
