from the Choirmaster's desk...
In September, members of the Chancel Choir began recording music for your home devotional use. Every Wednesday night, the choir met in the sanctuary from 7:30-9:00PM, socially distanced and masked to record musical selections. All of the music is chosen with the idea of elucidating the Gospel reading for the following Sunday. So grab your Bible, read the scripture verses for the coming Sunday, and then sit back and enjoy the musical responses we have recorded for your use. You can sing the hymns along with us at home. Sing like no one is listening! And if you are alone or with your significant other, sing without a mask!
