As a young girl, I loved choir practice. I can still remember the feeling of hearing that sound reverberating through the church and in my head :) Building Brains with Music Book

🎶 One of our favorite Christmas activities is to go caroling! We didn’t let the rain dampen our spirits on Sunday afternoon as we traveled between the homes of longtime Saints Alive choir members who are no longer able to sing with us. We love you, Larry, Martha, Raleigh, and Tommie!! ❤️🎶
