The bell choir plays several times a year during worship services at the Church, as well as for Christmas programs at the Logan Tabernacle, and for other organizations.

The evening will finish with the choirs singing Giuseppe Verdi’s Va, Pensiero from the third act of the opera Nabucco (1842). The rousing song is better known as the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves.

Outside Renovation will Soon Be Finished!

Last summer the parking area of the tabernacle was closed and a major renovation project ensued.  Trees were taken out, the parking lot was enlarged, all corners and middle areas were redesigned.  Recently I went to take a few pictures of some of the changes.  I do not miss the orange fencing that was surrounding the incomplete landscaping on the corners all winter long.  So today was a good day for enjoying the completion work that is going on and even taking a few Photos.
