For Easter this year, three stakes in our area (including ours) sang an Easter Cantata during Easter weekend. I was too stubborn to go to the rehearsals since it was during the week and I didn't want to take the time to sing, but Jay sang with the choir and was chosen as one of the soloist. The cantata was titled "He is Jesus Christ" that Rob Gardner, a member of the church, started writing while he was on his mission and has been working on for the past ten years. I was able to go to both the Saturday and Sunday performances this last weekend, and I have to admit I was sad I didn't sing. The music was beautiful and inspirational. It was great to really reflect on Christ's life and his sacrifice for us. It made me really reflect on the real reason we celebrate Easter, and I'm so glad Jay was involved and that we were able to be a part of that. If they decide to perform this again next year, I will definitely participate.
**If anyone is interested, I believe you can find the music on iTunes and Amazon.com**
