Well Done

Closing Sabbath Service - Week of Prayer Fall 2010

The Inspirational choir’s performance on Sabbath, October 2010, was nothing short of an inspiration. We were not to be disappointed as the choir filed on stage in their trademark red, complimented by black and in some cases white. God’s blessings were delivered through the choir’s power-packed presentation of “For Every Mountain” with soloist Monique Campbell who performed leaving no doubt that she believed every word she sang. Under the able hands of conductor Michael Bennett, and equally talented director and keyboardist Wilton James, the choir handled the complex modulations of the song with ease. As each note was belted out effortlessly, we were reminded of how much we have to give God thanks for. The songs powerful ending was met with rousing applause and heartfelt amen’s.

And as if that was not enough, our hearts and minds were again captivated by the also powerful yet sobering delivery of Tye Tribbett’s “Well Done”. Michael Bennett, who this time doubled as keyboardist and soloist, gave a soulful rendition of the first verse and chorus leading us to envision the second coming of Christ. As the choir picked up the second verse, refrain and vamp under the directorship of Wilton James, our hearts were lifted further heavenward as each individual present imagined the day when we will all hear the words: “enter into my joy, faithful servant well done”. With the overwhelming emotional response from the congregation, it was evident that God had been seen, felt and heard. But the best is yet to come on October 23^rd, 2010. Until then, well done! Inspirational Choir.
