On Sunday April 18^th the Wings Youth Chorus treated us to dessert….twice….the problem was that it was hard to tell what they meant by dessert. Was it the confections on the table or the outstanding performance? Nevertheless the performances at 4 and 6:30 provided everyone with an ample supply of both kinds. They started off with Gathering Songs and Again and Again with Anna Wilson and Jake Taylor. Then Everything to Me by Caitlin Sauer and Jake Taylor. Emma Baldwin performed a piano solo of The River Runs Through Me. In The Conspicuous Cross, Jake Anderson as Sam and Mike Walker as Jesus began a multipart portrayal of Sam’s decision to take up the cross of a Christian life. After every performance or two they would return with the next segment. Lance Glenn played the boss who lets Sam go over an issue with his faith. Later Sam and his girlfriend, Pamela, played by Katie Rogers part ways after she challenges him to choose between his faith and her. Sam’s crisis of faith is resolved when Jesus offers to bear the weight of the cross with him. In the end Sam’s comes to rely on the Lord and Jesus (Mike) closes the concert with a moving benediction. Meanwhile, the performances progressed with Faith Holly and Courtney Johnson performing The Promise. The 7^th and 8^th grader skit took place in a doctor’s office and inflicted everyone else’s malady on one hapless patient. Christy Cain and Leslie Lamson Scribner had everyone in stitches with their rendition of the Abbot and Costello classic, Who’s on First. The choir did a great job with Love Can Turn the World, and the whole audience was drawn into Seven Days of Tour. The In His Eyes performance of Shine Jesus Shine was in blacklight and it was a highlight even in the dark. Faith Holly and Aubrey Rushe performed Your Best Friend and were followed by the Senior Class in their cups with Screen Door. Watch the video and you will understand. The traditional Amazing Grace by Courtney Johnson and Taylor Wilson brought a lump to your throat. Erin Garland and Taylor Wilson plus the chorus sang That’s How Much I Need a Savior as the finale. We wish the Wing’s well on their trip to St. Louis and the money they raised with this excellent concert will surely help.
