The kids at West End Collegiate church did it again.
My part time gig is leading the youth for this congregation in music and developing programs that support the already deep sense of community these kids feel. Many of them have known each other all their lives.
Yesterday morning they serenaded their mothers and it was gorgeous. 8-year-old John David McInerny, who was baptized later in the service, opened with a solo rendition of "Let There be Peace on Earth" (he rocked) then the eighth graders in the group gave short testimonials about why their mothers are special. At that point the combined children sang "Let There Be Peace on Earth", John David did a riff on the end, and the congregation burst into applause. They don't applaud EVER at WECC, so that was a big deal to the kids. At the end of the number I looked out and lots of the folks were in tears. It was sweet.
