TOP TEN REASONS FOR JOINING THE CHOIR

[tony]

Sincereheart,

Padded pews? Wow! Must be them thare rich churches! The seniors bring a cushion...

I wonder if I can earn enough to at least supply groceries? I'll have to check into it!  

lol... I have set on both...(the padded and unpadded) not at the same time of course...  Even the padded ones can become uncomfy... especially as the clock begins to hit the 12:30 mark!!!  I can relate to the grocery thing... God does expect us to have our priorities!  It is better to have a full stomach and tired tush, which will recover in due time...lol...

The choir couldn't hear the sermon?  

No, it was the way the church was built. With the...eagle-thing in front of, to the right and above the congregation it meant that those of us behind the rood screen (which is why no one could see us) actually had a wall between us and the vicar, because of the funny angle. We could have just heard if we'd wanted to - but we never did.

I sometimes think interesting sermons are just a myth. At school all we ever heard were weird ones of the "I met a disabled woman today, she taught me how to bang my head, isn't that a wonderful lesson?" type, performed by drunken vicars after our cash or just droning on and on about nothing in particular.

The school rabbi now, he was interesting. Even if he did tell us off for not pronouncing Hebrew correctly.

Me being Tone deaf and partly deaf, I don't think joining a choir would be a good thing.
The 10 reasons given are excellent though..........

LOL! All the more reason to join! You can concentrate on the 'joyful noise' part and not let the vanity of how you sound get in the way!
