Dear friends,
Thank you for your WONDERFUL singing last night in worship and in rehearsal, and how special to have some time to talk with Jim Keck. I echo his gratitude for your contributions to a memorable and meaningful Ash Wednesday and to each and every week of the church year.
UPDATE: Let's assemble on Sunday at 9:30 so that we have luxurious time to warm-up and to fully prepare with the strings for our Mozart "Hostias" and also to practice our movement for the "Processional Kyrie."
Three additional invitations:
1. You may practice your Mozart and Ruth Watson Henderson as much as possible. : )
2. Please see the attached sign up sheet for up-to-the-minute information about our choir tour this summer, and respond by this Sunday if at all possible. Please remember this is not mean to be a trip to compete with the amazing experiences your choir travels have offered previously. We will not be seeing David Willcocks or Mother Theresa or the great European cathedrals on this tour. We will have the awesome experience of spending some time to enjoy being together and to share some of our favorite music with other worshiping communities. We will sing in the beautiful Basilica of St. Mary and at Minneapolis' Plymouth Congregational Church for worship services. We will be certain that every choir member who wants to come is able to come-- do not be shy about letting us know of any financial challenges. We want everyone to join us!
3. an invitation from Sadie: I am currently singing in a choir at Southeast Community College. It's the first quarter for the choir and, for the most part, it's quite an amateur group, but we would appreciate your support in attending our concert. The performance is this Saturday night at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church (40th & C) at 7pm. The concert should only last about an hour, so come support us and enjoy yourselves!
