Blue SkiesMusic Monday: White Christmas With I'll Be Home For ChristmasHere we are - the Monday before Christmas!
Yesterday we had our Christmas Music program here at Peakland UMC. Everything went really well and we had a pretty full sanctuary.

If you missed the program, or if you were here and just would like to experience it again, the program was live-streamed on Youtube and Facebook. On Youtube, just search for Peakland UMC, and on Facebook, we are @peakumchurch.

Today’s Music Monday is going to feature my son, Matt, on the bass guitar in another of my Christmas Album songs - Ding Dong Merrily On High.
This song is not nearly as popular as a lot of other Christmas songs, but I picked it for a reason - playing 4 and 4. Ok, haha, what does that mean. Well, here’s the slighter longer explanation.
Years ago I played piano and occasionally trombone in s Big Band i...2023-12-1105 min

I usually get to church on Sunday mornings around 6:30 AM - it gives me an opportunity to prepare, rehearse some and just collect my thoughts and spend some quiet time with God.
