This year, we gather for our Choir Festival on Pentecost
as we celebrate the joyful conclusion of the Easter Season.
May the glory of the Lord
endure forever;
May the
Lord be glad in his works!
You have already prepared your choir’s
Pentecost anthem, now come and praise God the Spirit with your
varied and many gifts. Choose piano (from sanctuary) or
organ (from loft) for each piece. All choirs will join in
various congregation hymns as well as “I Will Sing with the
Spirit” by John Rutter (SATB – Hinshaw, HMC 1386) and “Send Us
Your Spirit” by Tom Kendzia (SATB - OCP#5899).
Our afternoon together will begin with
a Holy Spirit inspired scripture and song prayer service.
