Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
As you are by now aware, our circuit
will be celebrating the 500tth anniversary of the Reformation with a special
service at Trinity, rural Hartford, on Sunday, October 29, 2017. Jean
Nour and I are coordinating and planning the music, which we hope will include
a circuit-wide choir. This is an invitation for anyone who wishes to
raise their voice in praise to join the choir.
There will be two
rehearsals: Sunday, September 24, 2:30 – 4:00PM Saturday, October 14, 6:30 – 8:00PM Both rehearsals will be at Trinity,
Hartford. I know Saturday night is not an optimum rehearsal time,
but I have concerts every Sunday in October, and I know Friday nights
are big sports nights, so Saturday was left. We can live with
a Saturday evening rehearsal once in 500 years!
The schedule for October
29 will be warm-up at 2:45 and service at 4:00.
If you are willing to be part of the
choir, please contact Jean Nour (jeanmarienour@gmail.com) or me (bowsconbrio@triotel.net) right away. Time is short, and I’ll get music out if
at all possible so that you are not sight-reading at the first rehearsal.
Please let Jean or me know no later than September 14, and the
earlier, the better.
Liz Soladay
St. Martin’s Lutheran Church,
Alexandria SD
