Lovely day out, 60℉ with sunshine. There were about 30 singers, some of whom haven't been our way in a long time, and we were glad to see them. It was a strong singing with a good spirit.

The first session was all from The Christian Harmony, 2010 edition (sometimes tagged `2010' later on).

After leading 323, Holy Manna, Don Wiley opened with prayer.
