Click on the link to see Ed playing the bells at the top of the tower on House of Hope Presbyterian Church on Summit Avenue in St. Paul.

On Saturday the American Guild of Organists, Twin Cities chapter hosted their organ discovery day for students.

This year it was at House of Hope, which actually has four pipe organs (three currently functioning) AND a carillon in the bell tower.

What a thrill to send those pure notes out to the grand old city of St. Paul on a snowy Saturday in winter!

Ed and Cherie both played the bells and the organs.

I am a horrid videographer, and I apologize for that. Don't get dizzy watching the clip! I'm still learning how to use my new phone!

We had our wonderful friends from South Dakota as guests for the weekend. Since they have close ties to the Ukraine it was especially fascinating to get their perspective on the events of the past few days there. Big things are happening in the world.

Maranatha!
