More memories

Which reminds me that during my first year at SCC that Priscilla Galatar was the choir conductor and one evening she took us in the choir to a concert at a Seventh Day Adventist church there in Costa Mesa. It was a nice concert but in retrospect it would seem a bit odd that Mrs. Galatar would be so well connected to the Seventh Day Adventists, a denomination with whom we have disagreements on various doctrinal issues. The music was great but it was not like I would ever congregate there for church. I would prefer a more Spirit-filled type of worship rather than the dry bones legalism of Seventh Day Adventism, personally speaking. Just legalizing things does not bring about the Spirit-filled worship of which I speak. Lots of dry bones legalists do not like being told what not to do. It is a Spirit thing. But I did enjoy the concert very much, in particular the dramatic soprano's excellent rendition of "I Wonder as I Wander," which was remarked upon later by Mrs. Galatar or someone. I agree that the music was great.
