Sunday Service

#2011-0522

It is the fifth Sunday of Easter today. Something special happened to the English service at St. James'. Neither Warren (the preacher) nor Shirley (the organist) was able to come and help in the Morning Prayer. I very much thanked Miss Catherine Lee for her coming from afar to preach a sermon. And, with no musician to take Shirley's place, I had to play the piano myself -- Well, fortunately enough, I was able to play all the five hymns chosen for this morning's service: #182, #187, #191, #205, and #207. All of these hymns are the key of C major!

Following is a picture taken right after the service. In the picture are half of the people who participated in the Morning Prayer, including a young couple from Singapore (思凱 and 佩瑜) who were visiting St. James'.

The First Piano Lesson (第一堂鋼琴課)

#2011-0521

這個週末，小蜜蜂頭一回在霧峰（爺爺奶奶家）過夜，當然，這也是他第一次親手碰觸鋼琴的機會 . . . . . 我們明知「學音樂的孩子不會變壞」，但我們也謹記「不可揠苗助長」的古訓，所以這一次的「碰觸」乃是名副其實的 Touch 罷了！
