A great deal of my time back in the USA this year and during the Spring back in Wales was dedicated to preparing for the various projects going on this summer. As is our custom for our summer blogposts in the past, we are making these projects a focus this summer.

This summer Linguae Christi hosted a youth choir from Dawson Memorial Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama.
