Preparing for Holy Week and Easter
We will sing for Maundy Thursday worship on April 5. Call time 6pm.
Zeb Highben's new piece works particularly well for Good Friday. Since we traditionally have not had a Good Friday service, we will be joining the choir of Trinity Lutheran at their 7:00pm Tenebrae service on April 6.
Two services on Easter morning at 9:00 and 11:00. Call time 8am. Breakfast in between services.
Come and make these worship experiences significantly more special by contributing with your talents.

Every day, every hour
The season of Epiphany's focus on light comes to a close this Sunday. The adult and 7-12 choirs will be sharing the anthem "He Never Failed Me Yet," focusing on Christ's faithful care and mercy. It's a fitting reminder as we move into the season of Lent next week.
Join us for this stirring piece of music. Adults, youth, piano, bass, drums...it's going to be thrilling!

Dazzling
The poetry of this anthem is lovely but archaic. The phrase constructions are often tangling to the tongue. In preparation for Sunday, take a few moments and read the poetry aloud. And enjoy the beauty of it and it's meaning.
How dazzling fair art thou, my Life, my Light!
How comely is thy countenance, how bright!
Sun uncreate, how keen is the enjoyment
That Saints and Angels find in thine employment!
In view thereof sing I, by day and night,
How dazzling fair art thou, my Life my Light!
My soul, O Lord, is sore athirst for thee:
My heart doth yearn thy seemly face to see:
Dim is my sight; but one ray of thy kindness
Should quickly skill to cure mine eyes of blindness:
Meanwhile my song and my complaint shall be,
“My soul, O Lord, is sore a thirst for thee.”
When shall I come to hear that Angel song?
Nay, swell the chorus of the heav'nly throng?
Then join the noble company of Sages,
Who chaunt thee Lauds through everlasting ages?
Now ev'ry day methinks and all day long,
“When shall I come to hear that Angel song?”
Amen.

New Year, New Time, New Schedule
The adult choir resumes this Sunday, January 8.
Rehearsal time is now at 9:00am, due to our new worship schedule. We are already losing 15 minutes of precious rehearsal time from what we had last year. Let's plan to begin warmups promptly at 9am.
The full singing schedule is listed to the left so that you may include them in your calendar.
It's going to be a new adventure!
Here is a glance at this Sunday's anthem:
