Good luck with your concerts! We are singing a anthem which is a medley
of familiar reformation hymns since it's Reformation Sunday. More
details on the service here:

I would like to begin our rehearsal for Sunday morning at 10:00am
instead of 10:30am. If anyone wants to go over parts, come on in.

I mentioned tonight that I spoke with Peg Sylvester, the Director of
Music for Palmdale Presbyterian Church in Melbourne:

She offered to bring the Palmdale Choir to St. Stephen to join with us
for an Advent service some Sunday evening in December. I offered to host
our musical guests for an after service dinner of fellowship so we can
meet and visit with each other. She and I selected some anthems we will
learn to perform together that evening. I hope to put together some solo
/ duet / small groups for special music that evening as well. Once I get
a better idea as to the service details and possible schedule, I'll
bring it to you guys, Rev. McCormick and our Session for approval.

If you can think of other local churches that we might want to invite,
I'll be happy to contact them to gauge their interest. I wanted to
invite some friends from the First United Methodist Church of Oviedo and
maybe some of the other small Presbyterian churches in the area
(Woodbury maybe?). Any suggestions? Thoughts?
