2004-03-28 [Härryda]
Airplane after airplane flew over our heads as we carried our equipment into the church in Härryda right outside the Landvetter Airport (Gothenburg’s airport). It felt almost like Christmas when I saw “Hosanna in excelsis” on the altars painting. It means “Glory to God in heaven”. We really hoped that the music would honour God this evening.
When all our equipment was installed and the soundcheck was made we felt hungry and drove to the local pizzeria. The waiter received our orders without writing anything at all. We just had to trust that our 6 orders were stored somewhere among the waiters braincells. When had been waiting a bit too long for our food we thought that it might be that way, but after a while each one of us got the dish we had chosen.
A bit delayed from the pizzeria we started the concert. The audience had a wide range of different ages. From the young candidates for confirmation who had taken a break from the studies of the bible to the elderly faithful service-visitors who never would miss a a service not even for a snowstorm.
The ambition to honour God and give a good concert felt achieved. Even the audience was pleased. Read this comment from our Guestbook: “Hi!! This Sunday I was in the church in Härryda and listened to Kite!! You are great!! The best music-style I know!”. Thanks for that.
Thanks for a nice Sunday evening!
Gloria! Hosanna in excelsis!
