Rehearsal 2025: Day 2
Saturday–the second day of Tehillah practice, a struggle between knowing the songs better and our steadily wearying voices!

This past Sunday we headed to Plain View Gospel Fellowship in Guys Mills, Pennsylvania. Halfway through, we stopped at a beautiful, quiet park for a sack lunch and a small church service.
