Musical Memories 2025 (Music at Atria) – July 3rd, 2025

Music at Atria (a precious community where my Dad, aka Grandpa Gene, lives!)

Karen’s Musical Memories 2025—July 3rd, 2025

This month we had another musical memories singalong for Music at Atria! A wonderful team came together to make it all happen – Aditi & Marsha read background info for the years of each song’s release, Paul prepared & gave tech support, Patricia ran the PowerPoint, Jonathan turned pages for me, Shelly gifted another of her beautiful cross paintings, Beth came to encourage and support, and I enjoyed playing this set once again for the beautiful community of residents and staff at Atria (including my Dad aka Grandpa Gene). It was a beautiful time together, and many heartfelt connections were made afterwards. We always have a great time together bringing presence and music, making room for both joy and sorrow, for the greater glory of God!

Please join us in singing these songs today and let’s pour out our hearts to God together!
