Notes from the Music Director…
May, our final month of the 2025-26 choir season found us singing each week, and Laura Yurs adding her flute on two of the anthems. Tom Rusch continues to accompany our hymns on piano or organ and provides other service music as is appropriate. Many thanks for his faithful service.
Senior Choir will take its summer break beginning in June. So, I would like to take this opportunity to once again recognize our regular singers: Kristin Chowanec, Bill Edington, Jesse Fremont, Jennie and Jim Ortega, and Chuck Weiss, and Juanita Edington. I always appreciate our alumni, family members, or guests who stop in for an occasional Sunday: Erin Lynch, Emily Ortega, James Ortega, Jackson Palmer, Eliza Zabel, and Penelope Zabel. As always, our sincerest thanks goes to Tom Rusch for his accompanying skills and his patience with the creative challenges that I have thrown his way this year.
Summer Musicians Needed
Special music selections will replace the choir anthems as of June 7. Special music is simply a solo or group, vocal and/or instrumental, of open genre which would be fitting for a church service. You can always check a selection with me or Pastor Chris if you aren’t sure. I know that I will be gone for several Sundays during the summer, so I will not be able to fill the gap on those Sundays.
June dates are 7, 14, 21, 28. I will not be in church on June 28.
July dates are 5, 12, 19, 26. I will not be in church on July 5.
August dates are 2, 9 (TBD- Ecumenical service in the Town Square), 16, 23, and 30. I will be out of town on August 2, 9, and 16.
Please contact me to volunteer for any dates that you might wish to serve. Information is needed for bulletin preparation the Monday before. Thank you!
