Our church choir flew across the Atlantic to sing. The choir from St Stephen’s Episcopal Church, our church in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, brought the Evensong service of choral music, chant, and prayer to life in London’s Westminster Abbey. Our choir and supporters (50+ strong) were in London for a series of choral concerts and tour highlights for 10 days. While performances varied, Evensong, performed in this world-famous church, is a highlight.
Our choir (and our director of music) bring their voices and joy to us every Sunday. As a member of St Stephen’s, I feel proud when I imagine this group presenting Evensong in this prestigious church. The collective voices of the group filling the space remind me of the inspiration and passion this service brings to life. Whenever I go to our services, I will have my friends who went to London and their incredible performance on my mind. What an incredible gift.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
