Music
News from David Sorkin
Greetings
from the organ console! What a
fantastic start to the year! I am
very excited about the upcoming
musical events at Family of God. You
may have noticed that we have a few
new singers in Chancel Choir and
what a great addition they are. The
choir is hard at work preparing for
our upcoming Advent Service of
Lessons and Carols. This service,
Sunday, December 7, will explore
some lesser known Advent songs and
readings. We are always looking for
more singers no experience needed!
If you are interested, please speak
with me.
Additionally, we are looking for
instrumentalists of all types who
will be willing to share their
talents at the Thanksgiving Eve
service this year. The service is
Wednesday, November 26 at 7 pm. If
you will be in town, please do not
hesitate to contact me and we can
work together to select songs and
practice. Dont forget, there is pie
afterwards!
