Palm Sunday and Beyond

This week we celebrate Palm Sunday with children processing with palms and the choir singing Moses Hogan's "Ride On, King Jesus." Within that service we turn the corner to Holy Week, and the choir shares Charles Wood's "Agnus Dei." There are recording of these pieces and most of the other music that we are singing for Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday in the Rehearsal Resources section below.

Kyrie: Lord, Have Mercy

This Sunday we are going to be singing the anthem we shared on Ash Wednesday, "Kyrie" from Missa Portae Honoris by Charles Wood. The focus of worship is praying for others when they need healing. The "Lord, have mercy" text is particularly appropriate for this.

Beginning next Wednesday, March 17 you are invited to participate in additional rehearsals as we prepare to sing for Holy Week and
Easter. The choir will be a part of services on Palm Sunday (10:45), Maundy Thursday (7:00), and Easter Sunday (9:00 & 10:45).

If you have been unable to participate in the choir this winter, it is a wonderful time to step in. In addition to regular Sunday rehearsals (9:00-10:30), join us for the special Wednesday evening rehearsals on March 17 & 24 from 7:35-8:35.

We will also have a rehearsal for all Easter musicians early in the evening on Wednesday, March 31.

It is also time to be thinking ahead to Holy Week and Easter. Note the schedule has three additional Wednesday rehearsals (March 17, 24, & 31) where we can invite people who may not be able to join us on a consistent basis. There are recordings of most of the Holy Week and Easter music in the Rehearsal Resources section.
