Ninety white-gloved hands move in unison. The children lift their hands to sign "glory" with a circle around and over their heads. To sing "It's so good to know God is just a prayer away," they move quickly, ending with a drawn-out sign, left hands held close to the chest while the right hands stretch out from the body.
