Our Singing in Fairplay


As some of you know, Steppin' Out was asked to sing in Fairplay last Saturday evening! Like every concert before, it was different and unique... None of them have been the same experience! .. and that's not a bad thing at all!

It was a smaller church, an according to the sign in the auditorium, their attendance last Sunday was eleven. As we were setting up (I got permission to borrow a portable sound system form my pastor), people started trickling in. By the time services started, there were 47 people total.

They started out with a few congregational songs, and then had their people sing and play specials. There was a piano and guitar duet, and several young women who played flutes. It was then our turn, and we sang 9 songs. After that, we took a little break as they took up the offering, and then we were back up to finish with 6 more.

There were two times that we (noticeably) messed up while singing. Both times we got ahead of the soundtrack. The good thing is that us guys stayed together... lol! Unfortunately, one of the times was my fault! I had started in too quick on the second to last chorus of Just A Little Talk... I need to be more careful!

When the services ended, we were invited to for cookies and soda, which we did. We also had the opportunity to visit with most of the folks that attended.

Overall, it was a blessed evening, and I'm glad we had the chance to sing.
