Kings Kids

This memory is fresh in my mind because I'm am helping with the Kids Christmas Choir at WBCC.

Growing up my mama led a kids choir that sang once in a while throughout the year, not just at Christmas.

We were called the Kings Kids.

We had a song: I'm gonna be a Kings Kid! (with people everywhere)


We also learned to sing lots of other songs, including: The Mission, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms (hymn #271), Be Bold/Be Strong, Hallelujah Heart, All Day, What a Mighty God We Serve, Your First Day in Heaven, 7 Times a Day, I just want to be a Sheep. etc.

It was fun. As the child of the choir director I got to help pick out the songs, and learn them before all the other kids.

I loved getting all dressed up at Christmas and singing on stage. Being the daughter of the Adult Choir director as well, I got to do special things. One year when I was wearing the navy blue and sparkly stars homemade dress, I was in charge of changing the "Scene Title" card that was up on an easel.

I also remember as a kid, and this is separate from Kings Kids but my mom used to sing solo's and on Mother's day she would sing this song and look directly at Michael and I the entire time!
