unday, December 15th was an unforgettable morning for my fourth-grade show choir group, affectionately known as the Treblemakers. These are kids who meet with me after school once a week to rehearse, pouring their energy into creating something beautiful. Since COVID, finding places to perform has been such a challenge, so when our church first welcomed us to sing a couple years ago, it was a blessing beyond words and we have done it ever since.

The opportunity was not just for the kids but for the parents too. Instead of bundling up for outdoor performances like tree lightings, at our church parents could sit, relax, and enjoy their children’s voices in a warm space with great sound. That alone was a gift.
What touched me most wasn’t the performance itself—it was our church. From the women who cooked breakfast to Todd organizing crafts, everyone stepped up. Many of my students start their school day hungry, so it meant the world that our congregation thoughtfully served them a warm meal. This gave me space to focus on leading and worshipping, allowing parents to see my heart for both their children and the Lord.
God was working through it all. Though I lead these kids each week, it was humbling to see them teach me. When one of our singers tripped and caused a giggle-fit during the sermon, I momentarily panicked. But then I heard one of my students whisper, “It’s okay, Mrs. Galemmo.” That simple reassurance reminded me that God’s grace covers all things, even laughter in the back of the church.
This experience reinforced why I do what I do—creating a space where kids can shine, parents can pause, and God’s love can be felt in every note.
