Sarah Price, director of music and worship arts for St. John United Church of Christ in St. Charles, directed the adult choir on Good Friday with one eye on the music and one eye on the storm outside the stained glass windows in the sanctuary. “We got through the cantata on Good Friday, then moved everybody into the basement," Price said.
