The New Harp of Columbia singing, held June 5, 04, at New Bethel Cumberland
Pres. Church, Greene County (TN), was a delightful singing. I had expressed
my concern about mold in the closed up church, and Jeff and Cheryl Farr worked
dilligently to make it clean so I could sing with them. We sang out of the
New Harp of Columbia book, but on some of the tunes in the style of Christian
Harmony. Thoughtfully and singing all the verses because they told a story.
There were several new singers there and it was a good mix of voices. The
whole day was was well planned and a great experience. Thank you.
