An Important Rehearsal

This Sunday, Nov. 1, we have the luxury of rehearsing without having to prepare to sing for morning worship. We are going to work Kirkin' music and other future things. It is a week to get caught up and be well prepared for our Scottish heritage services. This Sunday's rehearsal will be an important rehearsal. See you then.

Adults, Youth, and Drums

Once again, the adult choir has the pleasure of doing a collaborative effort this Sunday, Oct. 25. We will be singing "Together a Dwelling" with the Proclamation Choir and additional percussionists. This is a rhythmic piece that moves quickly. Listen to the recording below to help you get the feel of it. The youth will be singing the solo parts and the adults will sing the choral parts that you hear on the recording.

We are also going to excerpt a potion of "To the Praise of His Glorious Grace" to be used as a benediction response. We will begin at page 6, measure 25. If you are listening to the recording in the Rehearsal Resources section, the portion that we will be singing begins at 1:15.

Adults and youth will meet at 9:00 in the choir room, and we will do our best to be finished around 9:30 so that the youth can get to Sunday School.

Adults and Children: Singing together on Oct. 18

Our adult choir has the privilege of singing Allen Pote's "A Jubilant Song" with our 3-6 grade choir this Sunday. The children will be joining us early in our rehearsal time (at 9:15) to finalize details and participate in a final run-through.

Something Old, Something New

This Sunday we will be singing something old and something new.

"All Creatures of Our God and King," arranged by Melody Bober, was written for the First Pres choir. The choir has sung this a number of times in recent years. It will be familiar to many of you. Unfortunately, there are no listening resources for this one.

"To the Praise of His Glorious Grace" is the new one. We are going to excerpt a potion of it to be used as a benediction response. We will begin at page 6, measure 25. If you are listening to the recording in the Rehearsal Resources section, the portion that we will be singing begins at 1:15.

Thank you for your fine singing thus far this season. And bless you for taking the time to prepare before we meet together again.
