July 2009

FUMC was the site of a beehive of activity during the week of July 6-10th. Thirty three young campers arrived early on the morning of the 6th eager to learn music and make new friends. A few of them already knew each other, some were regulars in our music program, some were cousins and grandchildren from various parts of Tennessee, and some were members of other churches in the Upper Cumberland area. They were met by a team of volunteers who were teaching, leading, feeding and nurturing them throughout the entire week … and what a fantastic experience for all!!

Greetings!

Hello, friends. . .it has been a wonderful summer. We in the music department have been busy, busy, busy! Lake Junaluska hosted an amazing music week. I was fortunate enough to work with Susan Pote, and also Allen Pote and Tom Long, the composers of "Table for Five . . Thousand" which was the musical that our children participated in. The week was not only an opportunity for spiritual rejuvination (the worship was great) but also was a tremendous learning experience for me. Working with such talents as Mr. and Mrs. Pote and Mr. Long left me feeling like I had been on Broadway for a week.
