This was a truly BEAUTIFUL piece. I play flute and sing with my church choir, but like you, I don't look at it as anything outstandingly religious. It's more a community activity to me. I'm really impressed by the way you were able to get that point across in so few words. It must have been a powerful moment for you.

Having gushed over your writing a bit, I still have a few purely technical bits of criticism for you to think about:

1.) "adorned with Poinsettias" - Why is "poinsettias" capitalized? You wouldn't capitalize "roses", would you?

2.) "the faith that the singers have in Christ" - technically, this should be "had".

That's it. In general, the grammar and style was lovely. Add to that the marvelously explained moment of ephiphany, and you've got one very strong piece. Well done!
