The Benefits of Playing Music Help Your Brain More Than Any Other Activity.Our Fanfare Singers teamed up with the choir from Ambassadors Preparatory Academy singing “We Can Be Kind” at the Lemonade Day Kickoff/Education Expo held at Odyssey Academy Thursday. Kudos to choir director Anita Donatto!
NOTICE and REMINDER: There are NO CLASSES today due to the national observance of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Day! A 1999 stamp, then 33 cents, highlighted Dr. King as he presented “I Have A Dream” speech as part of the "Celebrate the Century" series of stamps featuring landmark events of the 1960s. In his famous speech that day, Dr. King spoke so eloquently:
"And when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up the day when all of God's children -- black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics -- will be able to join hands and to sing the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last. free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
That was Dr. King's powerful message in 1963 and we still need to "let freedom ring" today -- in words and in song.

Our host First Lutheran is looking for folks who can bake cookies and bring them to the church and leave them so their volunteers can deliver them to businesses and services such as Fire and Police Departments that are working during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!OPERATION CHRISTMAS COOKIE! It is time to BAKE AND BRING! We are looking for volunteers who can bake cookies at home and drop off in the Parish Hall before services this weekend! Then we will package them after Sunday service. Also we are seeking Delivery Drivers who can pick them up on Sunday as we package and deliver them throughout Galveston to businesses and services that are open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day as a thoughtful way to bring blessings and support to those in our community that have to work during this special time. Thank You!
