Brewed Fresh Daily

Yesterday, we met our friends (you know, the ones in town who work for the State Department in Indonesia) at their church. No. The roof didn't fall in on me. It was a very pleasant experience. I usually dread churches near the holidays, but there was none of the typical overcrowding associated with Christmas. The highlight of the service for me was the Offertory anthem, E'en so Lord Jesus sung by their choir and accompanied by their amazing Holtkamp pipe organ. By the way, The Holtkamp Organ Company is a local company. One of the reasons I'm so fond of pipe organs is that the church I grew up in had one. When I was young, we went to the Methodist Church on the square in Painesville. After visiting their page, it looks like they've installed a new organ. I'll have to see when they're giving a recital.
