A lovely celebration at the Pinery at the Hill Friday, January 6, 2017, shepherded Jim and Andrea on to their next chapter.

Orchestrating the event were Mary Elizabeth Miller and Sharon Hare. Guests were welcomed by Fellowship Board* hosts and music from the String Quartet of the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs.
Following moderator Steve Bailey's brief opening remarks, the Fellowship Board performed a fun, lively, choreographed song—Hank Williams's
"Jambalaya" with a new set of words that follow. (BTW, sorry about the technical problems with this post. Blogger is being bratty.)

Celebrate, Anticipate!

© 2016 words by Leigh Westin
Sunday morn, new
day born, can’t wait to see ’em.
The way those
people sing, it’s like RequEem.
Deeply breathe, feel
relieved, the peace is flowin’.
The way we love
this church will keep it growin’.
Chorus
Celebrate!
Anticipate, this new adventure!
’Cause it’s sure to
be a true spirit quencher.
Simple style, don a
smile, we’ll be movin’
to the beat of their
feet, we will be groovin’.
Flowers bought, vase or pot? The altar’s spiffy.
But when she sits
in the pew, she thinks it’s iffy.
Shiftin’ ’round,
thoughts abound, could it be better?
A masterpiece we
see. That girl’s a real go-getter!
An open book, let’s
take a look, the earth it offers
new explores to
fill our hearts’ welcome coffers.
Heading down, Chiapas
town, to learn the lingo.
Don’t want to
accent our sy-lah-bles like a gringo.
Chorus
Celebrate!
Anticipate, this new adventure!
’Cause it’s sure to
be a true spirit quencher.
Simple style, don a
smile, we’ll be movin’
to the beat of their
feet, we will be groovin’.
