September 4, 2010 Hello Choir! An auspicious beginning to the choir season, this past Thursday, for sure! I’m sure we will all remember the almost 100 degree day fondly next February . . . We still need a "Social Events" chair - someone who will help put together some choir parties and fun time. I also could use some help with the web page update - this person could help craft thoughts in any communications, and I will gladly show how to do the actual update on the web. I mainly need assistance when the schedule gets hairy . . . Please pray about these needs, and see in what way your gifts can go to making our choir a more unified community with a common goal of, if I may boldly borrow from our friends the Presbyterians in the Westminster Catechism, Glorifying God and enjoying Him forever". We sing "New Every Morning is the Love" next Sunday, September 12 as part of the Festival of Faith Sunday. Let’s bring a new spirit to our worship - what a privilege to sing to God on behalf of His people! Blessings, Mark (Special Dates which have been set for the year are listed in the link in the upper left of this page, or click here: Special Dates A partial Tentative Anthem Schedule can also be found in the links at the upper left of this page, or by clicking here: Tentative Anthem Schedule)
August 26, 2010 Dear Choir, We will soon be back to our joint communal vocation - singing and making melody unto God! Our first rehearsal will be Thursday, September 2, promptly at 7:30 pm, so that we will not feel overwhelmed with coming back after a long break and then having to adjust for singing in worship on short notice. Our first Sunday back in Worship will be September 12. A new inclusion in our folders this year will be the first ever edition of the South Church Choir Handbook! This book will contain a lot of pertinent information all in one place – choir members, addresses, officers, web address, special dates, etc. which will assist us with some of the more technical aspects of our work so that we may concentrate on the intangibles of our purpose. Just a teaser - we shall be singing “The Christmas Story” by Ronald Nelson this year as our Christmas Musical Offering. It was first performed in Providence, RI in 1958, and will work well with our Choir! We will be singing this cantata on the last Sunday of Advent instead of Christmas Eve, and we will then help lead in a major planned Christmas Carol Sing before our Christmas Eve service. Two new ways of doing things this year! Once again, the Music Website will be the primary means of communication this year, at: www.musicatsouthcongo.org After September 1, even more effort will go in to making this site more valuable and more up to date than even last year’s effort. Be sure to make a shortcut on your computer’s desktop to access this link – if you need assistance to do so, I will help you! There is a lot of new info to communicate – stay tuned, as it were, for details! Special Dates which have been set for the year are listed in the link in the upper left of this page, or click here: Special Dates A partial Tentative Anthem Schedule can also be found in the links at the upper left of this page, or by clicking here: Tentative Anthem Schedule I look forward to seeing you on September 2! Have a great rest of the summer! In Christ,
