9.25.10 - Choir News
Dear friends,
A few bits of news to brighten this gloomy Saturday:
1. We get to sing together tomorrow morning-- rain or shine!-- and we will gather at 9:48 (please be prompt) in the choir room. If you haven't noticed, recordings of all upcoming music is stream-able on our blog: www.firstplymouthchoir.blogspot.com so that you can practice well at home! Tomorrow we sing My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord and Not One Sparrow is Forgotten.
2. Donna Harler-Smith will be here each Wednesday in October from 6:35-7:05 to facilitate a group voice class for the women of the choir. All are strongly encouraged to attend. Please take advantage of this amazing opportunity to study with an awesome voice teacher-- and for free!
3. The men's group voice class culminates in this Wednesday's lesson from 6:35-7:05. I encourage all of us men to be there for this.
4. We are beginning to gather hosts and hostesses for our next round of Dinners for Eight. If you would like to host a randomly-selected group of choir guests for a meal (breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner are all possible!), please simply let me know what day and time you would offer your hospitality, and we will take care of the rest.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon...and often! : )

9.22.10 - Are you anchored?
OH yes!
Thank you all for your spirit and energy tonight as we have really begun to breathe life into our Moses Hogan arrangement for Sunday. HOORAY! We will meet Sunday at 9:48 a.m. Please be on time-- we have just enough time on Sunday mornings to get centered, focused, anchored, and prepared to do our part in worship, and it is essential that we all are present to engage in the whole centering, focusing, anchoring, and preparing process.
I am so sorry that in all my excitement with our spiritual interpretation I forgot to share some very important prayer concerns and information with you.
Cecil Walker's memorial service will be at First-Plymouth tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. Cecil was a relative of Bradley and Kimberly Walker as well as IV and Adrienne Dickson, and many of you will know them. Jack Rinke will be playing piano for the service. Rob McMaster will sing THE LORD'S PRAYER, and I will be playing organ as well so that our choir is contributing to the memorial celebration in a variety of ways.
Connie Ore, the wife of our former Assistant Organist Charles Ore, passed away recently. Many of you signed a sympathy card tonight. Certainly know that both the Ores and the Walker families will appreciate your prayers.
I look so forward to 9:48 on Sunday.
Praise be to God almighty- OH yes! : )

9.14.10 - And We're Off!
Dear friends,
Thank you for your beautiful, passionate singing from Sunday morning which launched our new season as worship leaders in our church. I look forward to seeing you all again tomorrow to continue building our sound and discovering our voice as an ensemble. We have so much to look forward to in this season! : )
Allow this to be a friendly remind to our men that your free voice lessons continue to be available this Wednesday at 6:35 and through the end of the month. Please do all you can to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity. I have heard from many of the men attending that it has been a practical, valuable, and intriguing experience so far.

9.11.10
Dear friends,
What a joy it will be to hear you sing Amazing Grace and Come Thou Fount this week as we kick off our choir season in worship at the 9:00 and 10:30 services. While we always hate to make you come earlier, Jeremy and I have decided we should gather at 8:00 a.m. so that we can rehearse appropriate with the brass and also practice our procession. It will be almost like Easter with many bells and whistles this week! We will serve hot breakfast in Mayflower Hall downstairs between services, as usual.
Thanks to many who came to hear the ABENDCHOR concert tonight, and please know you have another opportunity to catch it on Sunday at 3:00 at St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha if you missed this one. There can never be enough beautiful music in the world, and we have such an abundance of treasures to experience at First-Plymouth this weekend! Thank you for being a huge part of that! :)
