So the Senior Choir is still on the road. It has been great to see "twittered" photos and updates of where they are and what they are doing.
They have worked their way South, last stop- North Carolina. Their week has been full of new sights and meetings.
They have had the privilege of singing in amazing Churches . . .
Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, followed by St. Pauls
The Choir sang in the mornings at these churches for tourist touring these amazing churches.After these concerts, some youth went to see Lion King, some Phantom of the Opera, but a few of the boys joined the Youth Minister and went to a Yankees game in the new stadium.
Demolition D was amazed at how big New York City is . I loved recieving a text that said he was having a "good!!" time. I could not believe I got exclamation marks!! Whoo Hooo, he was animated in his texting, ahhhh, New York.
Will Ferrell. Not only did they meet him and chat with him. He took a picture of the group!

The group left by bus from NYC for Philadelphia. They volunteered at the Philabundance Food Bank.
The Chalis (being held and communion given by our Youth Director) was purchased in England and sent to St Georges by John Wesley in 1785.
Next stop - Durham, North Carolina.

One stop was the Today Show (and I forgot to set the VCR - yes, I am still old school, no DVR or TIVO)
They met Ann Curry and Al Roker (I am so jealous) and they also met . . .

Then they visited the St. George United Methodist Church. The Church is known as the denomination's "oldest church building in continuous service" - since 1769.
After the touring the facility, the group was served Communion - with a bit of history.

Next stop - Durham, North Carolina.
Duke Chapel. This Chapel was built in 1935 at a cost of 2,287,742.64. I wonder what that would cost today?
Inside the Chapel . . .
The choir singing. The twitter said they sounded great!
And now they are headed to Charleston . . . they are officially South Of The Border!
Monday at 6:00p.m. they will be home and giving their final concert - their homecoming concert.

Oh yes...South of the Border. A treasured destination spot that makes all of South Carolina SO proud!!! NOT!
I'm glad they came on down to Charleston to see our REAL treasure!
I love the church photos. You can actually pick up the sacredness of the churches just by looking at them.
Nothing like singing in a good choir!
