Tour Day 6….
Started the day with a visit at the Fred Rogers Center in Latrobe, PA! Joy is overflowing today😍

“Everyone longs to be loved. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.”

What a beautiful day in the neighborhood for the Wartburg Choir! Singing in the home of Mr. Rogers and being hosted at Latrobe Presbyterian Church by the magnificent Mike Long! What a blessing to perform in this stunning space. Another day that will live with us forever.

“As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has or ever will have something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.”
