[SSPC-Choir] Ordination of Joon Lim

[Sarah Lavoie]

Happy Monday to all!

As much as I wanted to be there for Joyce's husband's ordination tonight, I 
regret that I cannot make it.  I know that those who do go will give them 
our love and well wishes!

Sarah

> Hello all,

>

> I just wanted to remind everyone that we will not be having rehearsal this 

> Thursday. It would be the last rehearsal before the summer break and we 

> only have two relatively familiar songs to practice. I've put up 

> recordings of the anthem for this week and next week here:

> http://www.awtrey.com/choir/rehearsal/

>

> Please practice if you get a chance, or at least listen to them a few 

> times between now and Sunday.

>

> On Sunday, please be in your seats and ready to sing at 10:30.

>

> This summer I want to do something new with our choir break. I would like 

> to have a "Summer Choir" which means no robes, easy one or two part music, 

> probably just familiar and favorite hymn songs. We get up and sing and 

> then sit back down into the congregation. I'll plan out the music for 

> July, put it in the bulletin with an invitation for the congregation and 

> announce it Sunday morning. I hope you are willing to participate and see 

> this as an opportunity to invite people to join us when choir resumes in 

> August.

>

> We all know that Joyce is leaving us this Sunday and we will miss her 

> greatly. Her service takes her in new directions and we pray God's peace 

> and success upon her and her family.

> For ourselves, we have begin an accompanist search process by following 

> good Presbyterian tradition and have formed an accompanist search 

> committee. We are happy to have Esther Burrow as musician supply from the 

> last Sunday in June through at least the end of July. Despite vacations 

> and summer schedules, we hope to solicit applications and select a new 

> accompanist by August 1st. I will keep you all informed as we go though 

> the search process.

>

> Thank you all for your hard work and faithfulness. This has been a 

> wonderful choir year and I look forward to our continued service to God 

> and our congregation.

> In peace,
