Choir Debut

Maren has joined the Cantus Choir (four and five-year olds) at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Grand Rapids. She has loved singing for as long as we can recall and we wanted to encourage her and also have her spend time with a music teacher.

Watch for her excitement at spotting Bunny, Grampa and Uncle Jay in the audience, and seeing Daddy at the end of the video.

The Cantus and Carol (third, fourth and fifth graders) Choirs sang "Forty Days and Nights" by Michael Bedford. Here are the lyrics:

Forty days and nights he stayed, forty days and nights he prayed,

All alone, yet unafraid, Jesus in the wilderness.

Jesus went to fast and pray, faced temptation ev'ry day.

From God's love he did not stray, may we follow in his way.

Forty days and nights he stayed, forty days and nights he prayed,

All alone, yet unafraid, Jesus in the wilderness.
