Senior Choir

There are so many to thank for their musical contributions during the month of April! I must recognize Laura Yurs, who played flute on Tartan Sunday and on Easter Sunday, Saedra Fremont, who sang on Good Friday, Sue Weihert, who subbed for Tom as he begins his time away, the choir, and especially Tom, who had extra music to prepare for the entire Lenten season and Holy Week.

Senior Choir-continues to rehearse at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. We rehearse and sing in service almost weekly, but on May 11th we will not have a rehearsal or sing in service. Cooper Wood will rehearse and accompany us on May 4 & 18, as Tom continues his time away. We will continue our choir season through June 8th this year.

We can always use additional singers and you do not have to make a weekly commitment to be a part of the choir. High school age and above are welcome. Drop-ins are certainly welcome.

Tartan Day Revisit Choir Anthem-

Hymn of Unity

MacPherson’s fiddle tune was written by infamous James MacPherson (1675-1700), a freebooter (pirate) and fiddle player in the hours before his death. Later, poet Robert Burns, among several others, set lyrics to the tune, as did John Haynes Holmes, the lyricist of the Hymn of Unity.

Holmes (1879-1964) was a Unitarian minister, a pacificist, co-founder of NAACP and the ACLU. He is noted for his anti-war activism. This choir anthem was arranged by Raymond H. Haan.

Sunday School: Preschool through 5th grade

Sundays at 9 a.m.

We have started our Creation unit. We are starting at the beginning and making our way through the Bible. We are taking our time and asking a lot of questions. We always take an opportunity to talk about our week as well. We are making great friendships! I will be having hip replacement surgery on February 5th, so we will not be having Sunday School on Feb 9th or 16. We will see how I am feeling after that! Hopeful for a quick recovery!
