HEAVENLY-GET-TOGETHER

"Hello all! ... I have to say that getting together with other men (this last Sabbath at the Loma Linda University Church for the Men's Festival of Music), singing in such a majestic way is heavenly! I was thinking of how many of us have life's problems in our minds and how much we depend on Our Father In Heaven to take care of us. Many there yesterday, I'm sure, either among the singing individuals or in the audience, were bearing life's heavy loads in their souls. Yet, as we sang and they listened, God's blessings were poured into our and their hearts, bringing consolation and healing. I am thankful the Lord has given us voices to sing!

"My other thought this morning, made me aware of how wonderful it is to fellowship with all the men who love to sing together. It was beautiful to be able to gather together here and there behind the church with a few of the men from the other groups, this during the breaks to sing a few verses of Wayne Hooper's arrangements and compositions. The majority of Adventist men who sing, pay homage to Wayne's inspiring songs by joining others who love to sing his songs. Wayne left us a legacy which will never be matched." -- Zeke Vieira, His Voice Baritone from Brazil

QUINTET SHINES IN HIGHLAND

Five of our members gathered at the Arden Hills Seventh-day Adventist Church in Highland this past Sabbath morning, December 19. They were invited by one of our own, His Voice tenor Bob Wheeler and his wife Jeanne, both leaders at the church. The quintet consisted of baritones Zeke, Ron H., Zoltan, and second tenors Bob W. and Mario. We also had a few instrumental numbers, as I played my violin, Zoltan did a number on his trumpet, and Mario accompanied himself on the guitar singing an original version of "Through It All." It is not an exaggeration to say we had moments of sheer Christian joy and I know we were blessed and that we blessed those others who came early to church.
