[SSPC-Choir] Choir News

[Sarah Lavoie]

Thanks for the note to bring me up to date.  Marc's prostate surgery went 
very well yesterday afternoon; he is recuperating well and is hopeful that 
it will make a difference.  Time will tell, as it may take a month or two to 
see full results.

Regretfully, I will not be with you on Palm Sunday, but will be on Maunday 
Thursday and will see you at 6.

I saw the organ in the Narthex!  What a wonderful blessing!  We shall feel 
like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir when accompanied by it!

Have a blessed service on Sunday.  I will be thinking of you.

Sarah

> The organ currently sets in the Narthex of the church to be available

> for the congregation to see. We have already had a consultant from

> Central Music (the local Rogers representative) come out and provide us

> with the information we needed for installation. We will have to run

> some speaker cables and get the speakers in the tone cabinets replaced,

> but we are hopeful that we *might* have the new organ in place for

> Easter morning service.

>

> We have a busy week coming up. Sunday is Palm Sunday and we are singing

> the familiar anthem "The Palms" with Georgia singing the second verse as

> a solo. Thanks Georgia! Our introit is a simple hymn arrangement of our

> scripture lesson for the day.

> !!!LOOK!!!

> IMPORTANT NOTICE: We would like to start rehearsal at 10:15 on Sunday

> 6:30 and our regular choir rehearsal will follow at 7:30. Please plan on

> staying in the choir loft for the whole service.

> Our Easter morning service will feature an introit, an anthem and an
