My deepest gratitude and praise to all of you who were a part of the Holy Week and Easter celebrations at First-Plymouth. You outdid yourselves with beautiful singing. The compliments continue to come in. I am very proud and grateful.
We continue Wednesday evening with our regular rehearsal schedule. We are now focused on our big push to the Abendmusik Concert, April 27. Please consult the calendar to refresh your memory of the performance week rehearsal schedule. It's not too early to talk with me about potential conflicts that could have come up since we published the calendar.
THIS SUNDAY, APRIL 6 - FP Choir sings BOTH services with The Summit Strings. The president of the denomination, John Thomas, will be our guest preacher. We would like a full choir loft. Breakfast will be served between services.
