One of the nice things about summer's somewhat slower pace is the opportunity we have to reflect upon the accomplishments of the past "work year" and to develop new goals for the season ahead. I've spent quite a bit of time this summer in prayerful consideration of the music program here at First Church, and I've come up with one inescapable conclusion: The success of the music program this coming season is up to you.

The digital piano is up and running in the choir room. A television and VCR have been donated to the music program so that we can videotape and critique our musical offerings. The handbells are scheduled to be delivered sometime in September. We have been truly blessed with many of the things we need to have an outstanding music program. But this has all happened so fast that the only people involved in the music program right now are Shirley, the Senior Choir, and me. None of these wonderful gifts will mean anything without people to use them.

Cherub Choir-Under the direction of Karen Bacchi & Carol Rabs rehearses on Sunday mornings from 10-10:25 in Room 401. Children age 3 years to 3rd Grade are welcome. The Cherub Choir sings once a month during the 10:30 Worship Service.
