When I selected the anthems for November, I decided that I would go with recent favorites, given October had its share of unfamiliar pieces. And I was surprised by what I found: our three stewardship anthems include the word “blessings” in the title. How appropriate for our congregation! As we focus on the gifts we offer Edwards Church as part of our stewardship campaign, I can’t help but think about the blessings of music. I’m so grateful for our accompanists, our bluegrass band, and other willing instrumentalists. And our choir can’t be forgotten in that list. This group of volunteers amazes me on a weekly basis with its generosity of time and talent. As we listen to “Blessings,” “Blessings Abound,” and “Bountiful Blessings” what blessings of Edwards Church will be on your mind?
