Arrival in Canterbury!

After a looooong day of traveling on Saturday, our Canterbury Choir arrived in Canterbury, England, yesterday, and they enjoyed some rest and free time before their first rehearsal in Shirley Hall this morning.

Dean of Canterbury Robert Willis was there to greet them!

And then the work began––it's very important to warm up before rehearsing!

Here's Dr. David Flood, Director of Music at Canterbury Cathedral, working with our choir, who will sing the psalm and the Preces and Responses at Evensong in the cathedral tomorrow night.

As always, please pray for our choristers, their families, and their director as they travel and spread the gospel message!
