Concert with Keith and Kristyn Getty

I had posted back in July that we got tickets for the Keith and Kristyn Getty concert at DBU: http://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2016/07/excited-keith-and-kristyn-getty-at-dbu.html

Last night was the night of the concert, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! They did quite a few of the hymns from their new album, "Facing a Task Unfinished" - including old hymns and new ones which they have written. It is so wonderful to hear hymns and be able to worship God with such beautiful, meaningful words. Facing a Task Unfinished music video
Most of the time Keith was behind the piano (and not easily visible from where I was sitting) but at this point he was out from behind the piano and he and Kristyn were facing each other.

Here you can see more of the whole stage at "Patti and Bo Pilgrim Chapel" on the campus of Dallas Baptist University. There was one point where the instrumentalists all played music from all different parts of the world and that was quite neat. There was a choir of students from DBU who sang with the Gettys. Evidently they frequently/always incorporate a local choir as our friend Dawn participated when they were in Savannah. The lady on the far right side played the violin/fiddle and also did some Irish dancing!

Another shot of Keith and Kristyn. The guy standing just behind Kristyn played all sorts of stringed instruments and he was married to the fiddle/violin/dancing lady!
We were so blessed to hear this music and participate in this event!

The event was brought to DBU by the Denison Forum on Truth and Culture. http://www.denisonforum.org/
I had heard of Denison Forum before, but am embarrassed to say that I thought it had something to do with the town of Denison, TX (it does not) and had not looked into it more than that. I have signed up to get their daily cultural commentary.
