Communion

Communion. Coming together.

The choir will be sharing Mark Hayes' anthem setting of "One Bread, One Body" this Sunday as communion music. We will be pleased to have the Proclamation Youth Choir singing with us on this anthem.

Additionally, we will be introducing the South African hymn "Hallelujah! We Sing Your Praises," leading it with the congregation. We will sing it in English.

There are recordings of both pieces of music below in the Rehearsal Resources section.

Let's come together this week. And commune through meal and music.

Sunday of the Good Shepherd

This Sunday we focus on Christ as the Good Shepherd. The choir has a gorgeous anthem to share: "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" arranged by Mack Wilberg. We will have the pleasure of singing it with its intended scoring of concert harp and two flutes. There is a YouTube recording of the piece below in the Rehearsal Resource section. Then we will close the service with a benediction response that we began last week, "Christ Be With Me" by Noel Rawsthorne.

Easter Continues

After a week off from the exertions of Holy Week and Easter Sunday, we resume rehearsals this Sunday, April 18 at 9:00.

We will be sharing two pieces: an introit "Worthy is the Lamb" by Benjamin Harlan and a benediction response "Christ Be With Me" by Noel Rawsthorne.

There is a recording of "Worthy is the Lamb" that can be found online. Instructions are posted in the Rehearsal Resources section below, but here is a picture of what you will look for on the screen:



Holy Week and Easter were such a delight in great part due to the large number of singers that were there. Let's try to keep that energy and momentum throughout the remainder of the spring season. We have particularly interesting music coming up in the next month. Plan to join us.

Easter Morning

Call time is 8:00 am for the Sanctuary Choir on Sunday morning. Meet in the Choir Room, in your robes.

We will be singing "Processional Alleluia" and "Christ Has Arisen! Alleluia" (recording below).

There is a logistics sheet for you as well, but here is the content from that sheet:

No hymnals necessary; everything is in the bulletin

We begin the service in our seats (in the transept; we will not be in the choir loft)

When the congregation stands to face the rear of the church, move into position on the steps for “Processional Alleluia”

Remain in place through the hymn, until the peace, then be seated

Move into position on the steps for “Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia” as children return to their seats

Commune at the 9:00 service

This is going to be a wonderful and meaningful experience for all involved. We hope that you can join us.
