Exiciting World Premiere THIS SUNDAY!

Sunday April 28!

This Sunday is going to be an exciting musical Sunday.  The Festivo Bells will play before they take their summer break, (as JuBellee did last week) and with a lot of excitement, we will premiere a new composition by Thomas Keesecker.  It will be a new arrangement of the beloved hymn, Love Divine All Loves Excelling.  

The Chancel Choir commissioned Thomas to write this work and we are thrilled to be able to present it to you. This composition began with the question:  How do you thank a group of folks that come week after week, month after month, year after year to sing at rehearsal every Thursday and during most Sundays of the calendar year?  Their selfless giving of their time and talents means so much to all of us as we worship God together.  

It's a big ask to have folks give up so much of their time, and the Chancel choir continues to meet their commitment! Asincere love of music and the joy of singing together, they continue to bring beloved anthems as well as newer works.  Not only does this marvelous group of choristers sing together, we continue to pray together, lifting each other up in times of need and celebrating the joyful moments in our lives. We are truly a tight-knit group of singers, but, we’re always ready to welcome new singers to join us!  

What better way to show the appreciation we have for our Chancel Choir than to present a work written especially for them!

Please join me this Sunday to thank the choir for all they have done and continue to do to make worship so meaningful for all of us year after year.
