Thursday’s Thoughts from Will 04.28.2022

Sunday we’re singing “On the Banks of the Promised Land” for the first time. I hope you’ll join us. As a reminder, if at all possible, please plan to remain (or move to) the choir loft for the sermon of the service for which you plan to stay. We’ll play this by ear somewhat as we see the crowds in the coming weeks, but plan on staying if you can.

Our Spring Concert is SUNDAy NIGHT. CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA- WARM-UP WILL BEGIN AT 4 PM. We will have reduced seating capacity, but we will livestream the concert. The dress will be typical of previous Spring Concerts- solid shirts (Spring Colors) and solid pants/full-skirts.  I’m working on the order this week and will have it to you soon. If you’re a digital user, you’ll notice there’s already a Spring Concert folder created. I’ll be shifting some things around in the coming days and then your folder will be complete. We’ll provide paper copies of the order for choir members still using folders and you’ll need to re-arrange your music yourself.

REHEARSALS IN MAY ON THE 11TH AND 18TH ONLY; however, beginning with the first Sunday in June, we will not lead as a choir and full orchestra for at least 12 weeks. I will be planning some  opportunities for us to stay connected, but once we move to the Fellowship Building for the summer, we will be limited on room and cannot lead all together for that time frame.
