Saturday evening an orchestra from the churches in the area performed several pieces.
Sunday morning a choir from all over Europe sang - moving smoothly from French to German to English songs - all with passion and clearly understandable. Some hymns or songs had different verses in different languages. A taste of heavenly choirs!
Here is the children's choir Sunday morning that Ruth referred to in the last post. This was not the only contemporary song with Christian lyrics - but certainly the most surprising! 😀
Friday evening's program included several hymns and gospel songs from a choir made up of representatives of the various "Russian Mennonite" churches in Germany, that were established in the 1980's and 1990's. They would have immigrated from Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kirghistan. We were not able to take a video that evening, but here is a picture of the choir. They had a beautiful sound.
"Transmission" was the overall theme of the conference. Certainly music transmitted and was witness to faith. Good music, good times!
