I look forward to a new year of Children's Choir as part of APC's "Wednesday PLUS" program.
I hope you read Anne Foote's letter of invitation. As Interim Director of Christian Education, Anne will direct the activity portion of Wed. PLUS, using "Journey to Jerusalem," which has been very popular with children through many years.
Presently I estimate 15 singers in the choir, which is very good. Fifth graders are more numerous than usual, which might allow me to push the envelope on musical challenges. We are blessed again with the assistance of Mrs. Giese and Mrs. Hoelscher.
Please remember this is the year for the three-church choral festival (alternates years with the musical). The adults will sing Brahms "Requiem" and the children/youth will sing anthems TBD. Please save Sunday, March 25, 3:00 p.m. (festival) plus the previous morning (rehearsal) in your schedule.
Our first singing date in worship is October 16 (introit with youth choir). We will also sing in the 13th annual Reformation Sunday three-choir anthem (Oct 30, Rutter's "Look at the World," see the video below). You will receive a complete list of singing dates ASAP.
See you soon!
