SO. In my church, I teach the little three year olds. They're called Sunbeams. They have spent the past 2 years in the nursery, and in January of the year they turn 4, they move up into the Big Kids class... which we call Primary. It's a big transition. They have to sit for essentially two hours, listening to lessons and singing songs. It can be a disaster if people come unprepared or are not very good at their job.

These are some of my adorable Sunbeams.

Enter... the MASTER singing lady. Her name is Melanie. For about 20 minutes, this woman is responsible for teaching the kids some pretty difficult church songs. Make no mistake, the songs are fantastic and teach excellent gospel principles. They are, however, a bit of a mouthful for a three year old child. Our lady is one of the two best I have ever seen. And I am stingy with my praise, indeed. So this says a lot.

Some of my friends have this same responsibility in their own churches. I have been trying to summarize her activities and email them, which frankly is time consuming and cumbersome. So I came up with this brilliant idea to talk Melanie into starting a blog and posting her ideas with some photos. Apparently, Melanie is about seven months more brilliant than I am. She has a blog, and you can see all her ingenuity by clicking there yourself. It's called The Crazy Chorister

and you want to do your kids a favor and pass this link along to your own church's music chick. I have ten Sunbeams, and they pay attention to her. 'Nuff said.
