Anna’s Notes

This Sunday and Special Messages

Sunday, May 31st: Choir is singing “Before the Cross of Christ I Stand” at the 10:20 service. The music track is still available on this Web Site.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please be mindful of others and don’t use any product with a scent before rehearsals or performances.

Update: John has requested that we keep our line tighter when processing and recessing (no more than 3 feet apart). Remember, don’t start singing until you step inside the Chapel. Also, when recessing, the lead persons should stay in sync with lead on the other side coming down the steps and line up closer to John and the clergy.
